Almost 50 years since JFK assassination
As you can easily tell from all of the tv documentaries airing over the last couple weeks, the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination is coming up next Friday. One new documentary titled "The Smoking Gun" seems to be getting a lot of attention, postulating that a secret service agent accidentally shot JFK with his AR15.
I have always found it disappointing that JFK's legacy is rooted in conspiracy theories and not in his successes or failures as a President. Regardless of your thoughts on the subject though, the documentary "JFK- three shots that changed America" is one of the best- it is essentially just a collection of footage from Nov. 22, 1963. It doesn't give any opinions or present any theories. Just raw footage showing the hours leading up to and following the assassination. Certainly one of the most historical days of the last 100 years.
