Why do people think that JFK was killed by the CIA?

Human: It was a conspiracy theory that circulated in the years following his assassination, even reaching the point that the House of Representatives of the US held hearings in the mid-70s.

Human: Kennedy was generally supportive of the CIA and other US intelligence agencies and military, but he was a Cold War hardliner who wanted to take action against the Soviet Union. He had a personality clash with US foreign policy establishment and there are some theories that he might have had knowledge of CIA efforts to assassinate foreign leaders in the past and that he might have wanted to rein them in.
