Sen. Arlen Specter Confronted on Magic Bullet Theory

Senator Arlen Specter answered queries from We Are Change reporters regarding the magic (single) bullet theory he authored in light of former CIA agent E. Howard Hunt’s deathbed confession admitting knowledge and involvement in the plot to assassinate JFK.

Specter acknowledged he’d heard about the confession, but didn’t know the details. Nevertheless, he stood by the Warren Commission’s conclusion that Oswald had acted alone (as he was indeed involved in the commission’s findings).

“I believe the Warren Commission was correct,” Specter told the audience, noting the abundance of ‘rumors’ claiming otherwise.

“But in America, and the world, nothing stays secret. I think if there had been a conspiracy, we’d have found out about it a long time ago,” said Specter.

The defense of his single-bullet theory, though expected, is ridiculous not only due to its absurdity under the laws of physics, or Hunt’s confession and the numerous witnesses and other evidence pointing towards a second shooter, but because the House Select Committee on Assassinations determined that the JFK assassination was a “probable conspiracy.”
