  Warren Commission Exhibit CE-399 - The Magic Bullet
The Warren Commission singled out Dr. Gregory and his testimony for the "exact nature of the Governor's wrist wound" in their findings.
He was charged with the responsibility of the overall supervision of all of the laboratory operations in the Naval medical center, including the field of anatomic pathology (examining surgical specimens and postmortem examinations) and clinical pathology (examination of the blood and various body fluids).
The Warren Commission ignored their own expert witnesses when they concluded that "All the evidence indicated that the bullet found on the Governor's stretcher could have caused all his wounds."

  Warren Report - MSN Encarta
Warren Report, 1964 report and conclusions of a seven-member commission that was headed by Earl Warren, chief justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
The commission was concerned with the circumstances of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, and the murder, two days later, of Kennedy's accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, by a nightclub operator, Jack Ruby.
Despite the commission’s findings, speculation persisted that others had been involved in the assassination and that Kennedy had been the victim of a conspiracy by the Soviet Union, Cuba, organized crime figures, or Cuban exiles in the United States.

 Earl Warren, Norwegian American
Warren's successor as governor, Goodwin J. Knight, was to relate in later years that Eisenhower had promised Warren the first vacancy on the Supreme Court in return for delivering the California vote to him, but intended to renege when the first vacancy turned out to be in the office of chief justice.
Warren (reflecting the egalitarianism that typifies Norwegians), went over to the man, and greeted him, saying: "My name is Earl Warren — what's yours?" Justice Thurgood Marshall was to recite that incident 25 years later, at the dedication of the Earl Warren College at the University of California at San Diego.
Warren retired from the bench in 1969, and died in 1974, at age 83.

 The Warren Commission   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Logically this left the Warren Commission four options: abandon the lone gunman theory, assume that Oswald somehow managed to hit the President while shooting through the tree, lower the 2.3 second estimate of the time required to operate the rifle mechanism, or assume that a single bullet struck both Kennedy and Connally.
The Commission took the fourth option, known as the "single bullet hypothesis," and concluded that three shots were fired within a 4.8 to 7 second time lapse, and that at least one of the three probably missed the target, although they could not determine with certainty which of the three missed....
Of course, if the Commission had accepted the possibility that the first shot was fired through the tree at Z-166, then their estimate of 5.62 seconds could be extended by 2.4 seconds to about 8 seconds, more than enough time for a lone gunman to get off even four shots.

 Warren Commission Performance
In the case of Abraham Lincoln in 1865, a military commission determined that John Wilkes Booth was part of a conspiracy, and the Office of the Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Army saw to the prosecution of six defendants, four of whom were hanged.
While the committee concluded that the Warren Commission failed in significant areas to investigate "all the facts and circumstances" surrounding the tragic events in Dallas, the committee also found that assigning the responsibility for that failure needed to be approached with utmost caution and care.
In large measure, the Warren Commission's inadequacies in investigating important aspects of the President's assassination were the result of failures by the CIA and the FBI to provide it with all relevant evidence and information.

 The Warren Commission Report: 40 Years Later It Still Stands Up
The Warren Commission, named after its chairman,Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren, concluded that President Kennedy had been killed by a lone assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald and there was no evidence of conspiracy.
One of the most important failures of the Warren Commission was in not investigating the possible links between the CIA’s plots to kill Castro and the assassination of the president.
Scientific research, which was not available to the Warren Commission, together with the release of government files, has now established the true circumstances surrounding the assassination, despite the protestations of the conspiracy-minded.

 THE WARREN COMMISSION'S FAILED INVESTIGATION
One commission defender, Ken Rahn, opines that the commission "did a great job" and "got the right answer." The record, however, shows the Warren Commission failed miserably to properly investigate the assassination and that it suppressed important evidence that pointed to conspiracy.
The purported mission of the Warren Commission was not merely to determine who may have pulled the trigger that unleashed the bullets that killed the president.
Among the available data ignored by the Warren Commission (and reviewed for the first time fifteen years later, by the Select Committee) were numerous tape recorded conversations by top level Mafia figures which the FBI had acquired through extensive illegal electronic surveillance of the Mafia in the years immediately preceding the assassination.

 BREACH OF TRUST: HOW THE WARREN COMMISSION FAILED THE NATION AND WHY
Second, by never straying from the position that the Warren Commission was established for the sole purpose of confirming the FBI’s lone gunman theory, McKnight brings some new shine on old data that have been available to the public for more than 30 years.
After reviewing the circumstances that led to the creation of the commission, the book considers in turn all the troubling circumstances and so-called “smoking guns” that should have given the Warren Commission considerable pause during its deliberations: accusations that Oswald was an FBI agent, the rushed autopsy, the “single bullet” fabrication, and so on.
Although the Commission was ably staffed by top-flight prosecutors, it did not have experts on the Mafia, Cuba, or other key subjects, forcing its members to rely on the FBI for such information.

 Warren Commission and JFK assassination (GSJ of Nov. 20, 1998)
It was 1963, and if Chief Justice Earl Warren said "up," Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia would say "down." That's the way things usually went between the two key members of the Warren Commission, the federal entity charged with investigating the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
It is one story that has gone untold even as scholars, writers and film makers scrambled to examine every angle of the assassination in the years that followed, according to Max Holland, a fellow at the John Nicholas Brown Center for the Study of American Civilization.
The Warren Commission was the fourth investigation into Kennedy's assassination, he said.

 John-F-Kennedy.net - The 35th President Of The United States
Keeping in mind the Warren Commission's hypothesis that the 2nd shot went astray near Tague, and that the last bullet was the fatal shot striking the head, only one bullet is left as the cause of all other gunshot damage.
The Warren Commission theorized that this slit was caused by the exit of the bullet that entered Kennedy's back and continued on to hit Governor Conally.
In determining the motives of the assassin and those of the Warren Commission which failed to deal with the available evidence in depth, an obligation that it had to the American people--we are faced with problems.

 Boston Globe Online / Nation | World / Researcher says Cold War shaped Warren Commission conclusions
Holland found, for instance, that Warren Commission members learned early in their process that there was no foreign plot to kill the president.
Warren felt justified in his decision because the commission found no operational links between Oswald and any communist state, according to Holland.
Hundreds of books have been written about the Warren Commission, with even more about the assassination of the 35th US president, but Holland thinks his effort breaks new ground in its detail, its explanations of the interactions between prominent panel members, and its fresh historical perspectives.

 How the Warren Commission Failed the Nation and Why
The Warren Commission never entertained the possibility that the president had been struck by some bullets that were explosive and others that were not.
The Warren Commission pretended to dispel all doubts about the ammunition used in the crime when it reported that a bullet allegedly found in Governor John Connally’s hospital stretcher matched the type of ammunition that could have been fired from Oswald’s Mannlicher-Carcano rifle.
It was the Commission’s contention that this 6.5-mm copper-jacketed bullet (Commission Exhibit [CE] 399) was the iron-clad ballistic evidence that tied Oswald and his rifle to the murder of President Kennedy.

 Warren Commission Conclusions
Although it is not necessary to any essential findings of the Commission to determine just which shot hit Governor Connally, there is very persuasive evidence from the experts to indicate that the same bullet which pierced the President's throat also caused Governor Connally's wounds.
The Commission has found no evidence that either Lee Harvey Oswald or Jack Ruby was part of any conspiracy, domestic or foreign, to assassinate President Kennedy.
The Commission recognizes that the varied responsibilities of the President require that he make frequent trips to all parts of the United States and abroad.
