You will see a couple hundred names below.  Some have helped create the environment where things like the assassination of a US President took place.  Some are listed to give an insight into the people and organizations involved.  Some are people you have never heard of but they were just at a particular location at a particular point in history.  Some people remember things differently than others.  Some even have come up with theories about what and who drove the events that day.  There are some who, for some perverse reason, are looking to take credit for shooting the President - far too many if all confessions are to be believed.

The evidence shows that there was more than one shooter - who could have been from pretty much any of the groups that wanted the President gone.  However, it is good to keep in mind that only the government agencies involved had the ability to suppress so much information so effectively.  The most serious aspect of this is the number of people who lost their lives because of their contact with this or other incriminating information.  Their names are marked with and asterisk (*).  It is important to also remember that there were various groups that believed it was in their interest to eliminate witnesses and enemies.  For instance Cuban intelligence operatives based in Miami eliminated some who were working to remove Fidel Castro.  More that sixty years after the fact, all we can do is try to put the pieces together the best we can.  Where helpful we have included videos and quotes to give a better understanding of the people and the times.
