The L. A. Times<\/strong><\/em> is reporting<\/a> a theory that the day President Kennedy died, he wasn’t the target – the target was Governor Connally, who was riding up front and was, in fact, hit as well. This is based partially on the repeated testimony of Oswald’s wife, and a page from a book found in Oswald’s apartment.<\/p>\n

In the hours after the Kennedy assassination, after Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit and was identified as the president\u2019s assassin, a Secret Service officer named Mike Howard was dispatched to Oswald\u2019s apartment. Howard found a little green address book, and on its 17th page under the heading \u201cI WILL KILL\u201d Oswald listed four men: an FBI<\/a> agent named James Hosty; a right-wing general, Edwin Walker; and Vice President Richard Nixon. At the top of the list was the governor of Texas, John Connally. Through Connally\u2019s name, Oswald had drawn a dagger, with blood drops dripping downward.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s interesting stuff, but I am having trouble, as LBJ was Vice President at the time, and had been elected to the position in 1961; JFK died in latest 1963. My guess is that the conspiracy theorists will either ignore it or dispute the new theory vociferously, and perhaps use this oddity – perhaps the list was merely fairly old. Governor Connally assumed his position in 1963, but the list could have been assembled piecemeal. And this article is a secondary source, as it doesn’t reprint the page for examination – because it’s gone missing. Does it say<\/em> Governor?<\/p>\n

In the tradition of the best conspiracy situations, a key piece of evidence has gone missing. Interesting. Maybe Castro didn’t order the assassination after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
