text: Lee Harvey Oswald\n\n\n\nConspiracy Worldview\n\nKennedy was a threat to many interests. \nKennedy was going to withdraw from Vietnam. \nAdministration officials knew there was a conspiracy, or were actually part of it. \nThe administration feared the public learning about the conspiracy. \nThe Warren Commission was a coverup. \nWhen bureaucrats keep documents secret, it is to conceal wrongdoing on their part. \nConspiracy thinking results from government lying and scheming. \n Lone Assassin Worldview\n\nKennedy was a rather conventional politician. \nKennedy had not decided to withdraw from Vietnam. \nAdministration officials believed Oswald to be the lone gunman. \nThe administration feared the consequences if the public came to believe that a communist nation had Kennedy killed. \nThe Warren Commission sought the truth — although it was excessively sensitive about matters relating to national security and the Kennedy family. \nBureaucracies have a "culture of secrecy" that leads them to conceal records for no good reason, and where good reasons for keeping secrets exist, bureaucrats interpret them too broadly. \nConspiracy thinking results from a psychological process: people are unwilling to accept that the assassination had no broader meaning.
