Why The Failure Of The Warren Commission

Because of the key role the Warren Commission played and the acceptance of its conclusions by many people, it is worth noting the key facts and questions it failed to pursue, contradictions with the very evidence provided to it and the unsupported conclusions it arrived at. They are as follows.
1. The Commission never questioned the Dallas police about the first rifle found at the School Book Depository.
2. They never asked the FBI to explain how no prints were found on Oswald’s rifle, and then Oswald’s palm print was found on the rifle.
3. They stated that the ammunition Oswald possessed for his rifle was of current manufacture but Mark Lane obtained a letter from the manufacturer stating that the ammunition had not been manufactured since 1945. Ammunition this old would be of very doubtful accuracy.
The Commission in its report did not mention an FBI report from a witness placing Oswald in the second floor lunchroom of the depository at 12:15. They did report Oswald being in the lunchroom between 12:31 and 12:32. It would be difficult for anyone to believe that Oswald ran up to the 6th floor to assassinate Kennedy and then returned to the lunchroom at 12:31. Since Kennedy was assassinated at 12:30, the Commission actually presents evidence that Oswald was in the lunch room at the time of the assassination as he could not possibly hide his rifle and get down to the lunch room within two minutes.
5. They didn’t question the Dallas police how they could issue a description of the assassin at 12:45, before they would even have had time to get such an identification from the supposed
