Oh I think Oswald was "involved" in some way, but probably as a scapegoat/distraction from "the real gunmen". Okay, oswald shoots but there's a second gunman, around the infamous Grassy Knoll, who's there to make fucking SURE that bastard Kenedy was hit, and hit good.
But the idea was to pin it on the pasty, LHO. With his history - defecting, living in Russia, his work on behalf of Castro - he was the perfect patsy. Naive Americans - and one must remember how spoon-fed, naive and "innocent" most Americans were back in 1963, pre-assasination/pre-Beatles - would eat it up. A simple explanation always eases the simple mind.
The only reason 100% of Americans didn't believe the whole affair was because of the Zapruder film. No film = yup, Oswald did it, let's move on. The Gov't's cockamamie explanation didn't wash once people actually SAW JFK's brains being blown out.
