Okay, so we got a high ranking confession for JFK's death...how about some federal recognition?

[from Wikipedia.com]

Deathbed confession In 2007, Wiley published an autobiography of former CIA and Watergate figure E. Howard Hunt [61], who implicated Lyndon B. Johnson in the assassination. Hunt stated that Johnson orchestrated the killing with the help of CIA agents who had been angered by Kennedy's actions in the past,[62] which included an affair that Kennedy had with a wife of one of the agents. A 2007 article published in Rolling Stone magazine about the death of E. Howard Hunt reveals his deathbed confessions to his son which names Johnson, CIA agents Cord Meyer, Bill Harvey and David Sánchez Morales, as well as a "French" gunman named Lucien Sarti, who purportedly shot at Kennedy from the grassy knoll: E. Howard scribbled the initials "LBJ," standing for Kennedy's ambitious vice president, Lyndon Johnson. Under "LBJ," connected by a line, he wrote the name Cord Meyer. Meyer was a CIA agent whose wife had an affair with JFK; later she was murdered, a case that's never been solved. Next his father connected to Meyer's name the name Bill Harvey, another CIA agent; also connected to Meyer's name was the name David Morales, yet another CIA man and a well-known, particularly vicious black-op specialist. And then his father connected to Morales' name, with a line, the framed words "French Gunman Grassy Knoll." So there it was, according to E. Howard Hunt. LBJ had Kennedy killed. It had long been speculated upon. But now E. Howard was saying that's the way it was. And that Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't the only shooter in Dallas. There was also, on the grassy knoll, a French gunman, presumably the Corsican Mafia assassin Lucien Sarti, who has figured prominently in other assassination theories.[63] It is unlikely that Cord Meyer would have sought revenge against Kennedy for the affair because Cord and his wife Mary had divorced in 1958, while Mary's and Kennedy's affair began in 1962.[64] The Rolling Stone article states that the case of her murder had never been solved, based on the fact that Ray Crump, the man accused of her murder, was found not guilty. Though Crump was found not guilty, he was found near the scene with blood on his hands, torn jeans, and an unzipped pants fly. The jacket found near the scene was identified by Crump's wife as belonging to him.[65] There is no record connecting either Harvey or Morales to the assassination. A gunman put two bullets into her two days before her 44th birthday. Her diary and letters related with her affair with JFK were kept by James Angleton, chief of the CIA’s counter-intelligence group, for safekeeping with the intention, according to him, to be returned to her children. This letter was never burned as Angleton initially stated.[66] Since 1974 it had been speculated that Hunt and CIA agent Frank Sturgis were among the "Three Tramps" who were photographed in Dealey Plaza, and held by the Dallas Police, shortly after the assassination.[67] This theory has fared badly, first as the result of the work of forensic anthropologists working for the House Select Committee on Assassinations who ruled out Hunt and Sturgis in an analysis of the photographic evidence,[68] and then as the result of the release of Dallas Municipal Archives documents that subsequently identify the tramps as Harold Doyle, John F. Gedney, and Gus W. Abrams.[69] Alternatively, other researchers propose to identify Hunt as a figure crossing Dealey Plaza in a raincoat and fedora immediately after the assassination.[70]

Thank God for that. I remember when everyone and their mom attacked Oliver Stone for putting out JFK in 1992, claiming that his theory was preposterous (even though it was based entirely on Jim Garrison's evidence). Guess we still had too many of those people in power.

President Obama? Some help here?
