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.
