Can you be a little bit more specific?

Hunt supposedly "confessed" to being involved in the JFK assassination at the end of his life--though the reports that he did so come from one person (his son) and are not matched by any reliable records. The purpose appears to have been to give the son fodder for a book that he eventually published. Hunt apparently told a Canadian journalist, about 2000 or so, that he would "confess" to the JFK assassination for $14 million. Conspiracy theorists have long alleged that Hunt was one of the "three tramps" in Dealey Plaza and have tried to set him up as a gunman. In fact it's been proven that Hunt was in Washington, not Dallas, on Nov. 22, 1963 and there's no evidence he had anything to do with it.

The HSCA (House Select Committee on Assassinations) was a shoestring government operation that re-investigated the JFK assassination in the late 70s. They found no evidence of any involvement by anyone other than Lee Harvey Oswald, and their soon-to-be-final report said so. However, toward the end of the investigation somebody came up with a tape recording that purported to have been taped off the Dallas police channel at the time of the assassination. A minority of experts claimed that some audio anomalies on the tape were actually gunshots, and that there were four of them. (Oswald is known to have fired only three shots). Mind you, these anomalies were imperceptible to the human ear--you couldn't hear gunshots if you listened to the tape (which I have). It's just noise.

Anyway, there was an investigation of the anomalies, and sound experts went back and forth on whether or not they could be gunshots. Eventually they decided that they probably were, and at the last minute the HSCA's report was changed to read that there "probably was" a conspiracy, because of four gunshots, not three. Numerous members of the HSCA dissented vociferously, but that's how the report went out.

After the report was issued, further analysis was done on the tape. It was found conclusively that the tape was not made during the assassination, but at least a minute or so afterwards--which meant that, whatever the four anomalies were, they were not the gunshots fired at Kennedy. Because the tape was the ONLY basis of the HSCA's half-assed conclusion that there was a conspiracy, and this piece of "evidence" was conclusively eliminated, it's very obvious that the HSCA's conclusion was faulty.

Here's the evidence that Oswald acted alone:
~ Only three shots were ever proven to have been fired at Kennedy.
~ The bullets from those shots were conclusively proven to have been fired from Oswald's rifle, to the exclusion of all other weapons in the world. 100% positive ID.
~ Oswald's history, finances and movements well before the assassination are extremely well documented. There is no evidence that he was paid off, that he took instructions or that he even consorted with anyone who could have conspired with him to kill Kennedy.
~ Oswald was such a brash loudmouth, inept, broke, incompetent, angry, violent, twitchy and unreliable that no one would ever have relied on him to conduct an operation as sensitive as a presidential assasination. The man couldn't even hold down a job for very long.

I strongly suggest you read the best book ever written on the assassination, which is Bugliosi's. It takes apart ALL the conspiracy theories and conclusively lays out the sole guilt of Lee Harvey Oswald.
