1) Sawyer might end up killing someone since he has all the guns.\n2) I think the guy in the armory is telling the truth, that he's not an Other.\n3) Saywer's gonna hold on to the guns as long as he can, it makes him feel in control.\n4) Michael will come back soon, but most likely w/out his son.\n5) Not sure if it even was Michael's son sending the messages, it was probably just a trap.  The computer is probably in another hatch somewhere.\n6) Don't remember the heiroglyphics.\n7) The Others abandoned the hatch because they knew someone would come looking for it eventually.\n8) I bet there is at least one or two more hatches.

Actually nobody knows who did it.\n\nThe Conspiracy...\n\nThe Conspiracy\n\nDealey Plaza\n\nWhat about those witnesses? Didn't everyone hear shots from the Grassy Knoll? What about the Tague wounding? Who was the "Umbrella Man?" Was the rifle recovered really a Mauser? Does "acoustic evidence" show a shot from the Grassy Knoll? Were the Three Tramps suspicious? How could Kennedy's head go "back and to the left?" \n\nThe Single Bullet Theory\n\nYou've seen Kevin Costner give the conspiracy version of the Single Bullet theory. You know: Connally seated directly in front of Kennedy, at the same height, and facing straight ahead. Was that really what happened? \n\nLee Harvey Oswald\n\nWhat sort of person was he? Did he really have "Top Secret" security clearance? Did he shoot at General Walker? Were there two Oswalds? If Oswald shot Kennedy, what was his motive? Was the man exhumed in 1981 really somebody besides Oswald? \n\nJim Garrison and New Orleans\n\nDid Oswald really share an office with Guy Banister? Did Clay Shaw really use the alias "Clay Bertrand?" Why did Oliver Stone make a movie about the Shaw trial and not even mention Perry Raymond Russo? Did David Ferrie die a "mysterious death?" What about Jim Garrison and the Mafia? \n\nMedical Evidence\n\nDid the bullet that hit Kennedy in the back penetrate only an inch and fall out? Was Kennedy hit in the head by a bullet from in front? Are the autopsy photos and x-rays faked? Did all the doctors at Parkland Hospital believe that Kennedy was hit in the front of the neck, and if so, are their opinions decisive evidence that that is what happened? Was the back of Kennedy's head blown out? Are the autopsy photos faked? \n\nBogus Evidence\n\nDid you know that all the evidence in this case proven to be forged has been on the conspiracy side? One key piece originated with the KGB! Did you know that the "mysterious deaths" are virtually all not so "mysterious" when you look at them closely? Do you trust authors like Mark Lane to tell you the truth about what witnesses said? \n\nJack Ruby\n\nThe "lone nut" theory of the assassination is really the "two lone nuts" theory. What sort of person was Jack Ruby? A mobster? An intelligence agent? A small-time hustler? The sort of volatile character who might really have shot Oswald out of righteous anger? \n\nOliver Stone's Movie "JFK"\n\nWe expect Hollywood movies to take some liberties with the historical record. But what do we think when Hollywood turns history on its head? Oliver Stone wants to overturn the verdict in the Clay Shaw trial. The jury found that District Attorney Jim Garrison had no case — so Stone invents a case on celluloid. Just how honest was Oliver Stone, Shaw's Hollywood prosecutor? \n\nJohn Kennedy: Liberal Martyr?\n\nFor some in the conspiracy crowd, John Kennedy was a liberal saint, who was going to implement policies that would bring America into a new Utopia. So, of course, a threatened Power Elite had to kill him. Was Kennedy the kind of left liberal who threatened established interests? Was he a hero of Civil Rights? Had he decided to pull out of Vietnam? Historian Eric Paddon dissects these claims in a series of essays based on his posts on the Internet. \n\nAssassination Logic\n\nSome notions about logic, probability and statistics necessarily underlie all discussion of "conspiracy" or "lone assassin." Does the lone assassination theory involve too many implausible "coincidences?" Are there a suspicious number of "connections" between various figures in the case? Is the Single Bullet Theory highly "improbable?" \nAssassination Witnesses\nIt writings about the assassination, as in real-world criminal justice, witness testimony looms large. But just how reliable are the witnesses? How many witnesses are just flat out telling tall

History is full of misinformation.  Did you know that Lincoln was an attorney for the railroad companies that cheated farmers out of their lands?  Did you know that he caused people to get arrested on mere suspicion of being sympathizers with the South?  Did you know that he also proposed that African Americans be sent back to Africa?  Did you know that he suspended Habeas Corpus during the Civil War?  That he called for the assassination of Jefferson Davis but Jefferson Davis had forbid his spies from harming Abe because he thought it was dishonorable (then he discovered that Abe had a plot to have HIM assassinated and he sent forth his own assassins)?  Did you know that his administration also had some pretty corrupt characters that swindled and embezzled a shitload of money from the Federal government during and after the Civil War?  Did you know that the level of corruption was so high that the V.P. Johnson was almost impeached as a result of the corruption from Lincoln's administration (and the corruption continued on to Grant's administration).\n\nLincoln's greatness is mostly due to his Emancipation Proclamation, abolishing slavery, the 13th Amendment; this was not done for any altruistic, unselfish reasoning, or benevolence or generosity  other than his hope that the slaves would rebel and help end the war by murdering plantation owners and burning fields.!\n\nInsofar as Brack Obama... I can't answer; I honestly don't know what makes him so "great," either.\n\nEDITED: Yet, we have a dimwit in office who can't read the teleprompter and has made the US the laughing stock of the world with his "Bushisms" (Malaprops, if you will), has been lying to the public from the very beginning, appoints incompetents to positions (Brown in FEMA, Rumsfeld whom he finally dumped, and others that left/were dismissed).  At least he sounds more intelligent and can SPEAK better than a circus clown, and may not be the puppet for the super rich and powerful!  Did you vote for him because his grand daddy was a sympathizer and banker for the Nazi?  See:\nhttp://www.rense.com/general42/bshnazi.htm\nhttp://iwilltryit.com/bushnazi1.htm \nhttp://www.tetrahedron.org/articles/new_world_order/bush_nazis.html\nhttp://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article3255.htm\n\nCareful... the Bushes (starting from Daddy, George H.W. Bush, himself) have long been friends and cronies with the Saudis... do your own research and confirm and verify!  Or take the time to watch Fahrenheit 9-11 and maybe that will give you some clues of what's going on.\n\nAnd in turning Iran, Syria, Venezula, Cuba, and North Korea would all be parking lots, you'll have the rest of the world against the USA; instead of other enemies spewing slogans, they'll be plotting together to destroy the USA and all of the interests around the globe, murdering, kidnappying and bombing American properties and isolating us... it ain't that easy, mister!  How about the millions in those countries that are in favor of the USA but must live in the tyranny that the USA helped to create?

That's a hard one... I suppose it would be Dick cuz he shot someone in the face though. The biggest crook of them all  would be Karl Rove.

It's so interesting how you asked that. You said "current opinion." They mystery behind his assassination is just that......a mystery. So theories and conclusions have been drawn and studies and research into the magic bullet are still being evaluated. As a result, our own opinions seem to change as often as the investigation. When Oliver Stone's movie came out, we all began to "pick a little, talk a little" about Johnson's involvement. Cuba's involvement..........the mafia's involvement......... Marilyn's old boyfriend's involvement...........and the list goes on and on. When a country has an trauma as extreme as JFK's assasination, we need answers. When we don't have straight out answers, we create theories, when the theories don't always pan out, we create more theories. So here I've gone on a ramble about agreeing with your words and didn't even answer your question. My current opinion...........I don't know. *sigh*

Since you used the word "accidentally", then it IS an accident. I noticed you keep asking about various people being shot by the Vice President. It doesn't matter who they are...get over it!!!! It was an accident. I would rather go hunting with Chaney then riding with Kennedy...you may be too young to remember that a woman drowned to death while T. Kennedy was driving under the influence of alochol and HE didn't report it til days later.....look it up....Chappaquidick, Mass...

I believe it was Abraham Lincoln,her is some info...\n\nAbraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, in a one-room log cabin on the 348 acre (1.4 km²) Sinking Spring Farm in the Southeast part of Hardin County, Kentucky, then considered the frontier (now part of LaRue Co., in Nolin Creek, three miles (5 km) south of Hodgenville), to Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks. Lincoln was named after his deceased grandfather, who was scalped in 1786 in an Indian raid. He had no middle name. Lincoln's parents were uneducated, illiterate farmers. When Lincoln became famous, reporters and storytellers often exaggerated the poverty and obscurity of his birth. However Lincoln's father Thomas was a respected and relatively affluent citizen of the Kentucky backcountry. He had purchased the Sinking Spring Farm in December 1808 for $200 cash and assumption of a debt. The farm site is now preserved as part of Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site. His parents belonged to a well that had pulled away from a larger church because they refused to support slavery. From a very young age, Lincoln was exposed to anti-slavery sentiment. However, he never joined his parents' church, or any other church, and as a youth ridiculed religion.\n\nThree years after purchasing the property, a prior land claim filed in Hardin Circuit Court forced the Lincolns to move. Thomas continued legal action until he lost the case in 1815. Legal expenses contributed to family difficulties. In 1811, they were able to lease 30 acres (0.1 km²) of a 230 acre (0.9 km²) farm on Knob Creek a few miles away, where they then moved. In a valley of the Rolling Fork River, this was some of the best farmland in the area. At this time, Lincoln's father was a respected community member and a successful farmer and carpenter. Lincoln's earliest recollections are from this farm. In 1815, another claimant sought to eject the family from the Knob Creek farm. Frustrated with litigation and lack of security provided by Kentucky courts, Thomas decided to move to Indiana, which had been surveyed by the federal government, making land titles more secure. It is possible that these episodes motivated Abraham to later learn surveying and become an attorney.\n\nIn 1816, when Lincoln was seven years old, he and his parents moved to Spencer County, Indiana, he would state "partly on account of slavery" and partly because of economic difficulties in Kentucky. In 1818, Lincoln's mother died of "milk sickness" at age thirty four, when Abe was nine. Soon afterwards, Lincoln's father remarried to Sarah Bush Johnston. Sarah Lincoln raised young Lincoln like one of her own children. Years later she compared Lincoln to her own son, saying "Both were good boys, but I must say — both now being dead that Abe was the best boy I ever saw or ever expect to see." (Lincoln, by David Herbert Donald, 1995)\n\nIn 1830, after more economic and land-title difficulties in Indiana, the family settled on government land on a site selected by Lincoln's father in Macon County, Illinois. The following winter was especially brutal, and the family nearly moved back to Indiana. When his father relocated the family to a nearby site the following year, the 22-year-old Lincoln struck out on his own, canoeing down the Sangamon to Sangamon County, Illinois, in the village of New Salem. Later that year, hired by New Salem businessman Denton Offutt and accompanied by friends, he took goods from New Salem to New Orleans via flatboat on the Sangamon, Illinois and Mississippi rivers. While in New Orleans, he may have witnessed a slave auction that left an indelible impression on him for the rest of his life. Whether he actually witnessed a slave auction at that time or not, living in a country with a considerable slave presence, he probably saw similar atrocities from time to time.\n\nHis formal education consisted of perhaps 18 months of schooling from unofficial teac

Well Tom knew that no matter what he will still be seen as guilty(even though he is completely innocent) because he is black so he tried to take his chances to escape.\n\n´´Suddenly Atticus comes inside and requests Aunt Alexandra's presence in the kitchen: he gives her the news that Tom tried to escape from the prison and was shot to death by the prison guards. They tried to tell him to stop and fired warning shots, but he would not listen and kept running. Atticus needs Calpurnia to go with him to Tom's wife to give the news.´´

It could have been a single gunman, He was a former Marine and very well trained to shoot a rifle. The thing I dont' understand was his escape route and what he did after.I mean if you are going to plan the thing out, It just doesn't make since. I think he was a stooge, setup to take the fall. And may have been setup from the inside. look at the photo of LBJ being sworen in on the plane back to Washingto..That man had a smirkish smile as big as Texas. {he may have known something}

I'm a civil war history buff and I have never heard of Ella Star. I did a little bit of research and nothing. Maybe, it is a rumor.\n\nI found this: "Booth was frequently seen in the company of many women, and in one passage author Gordon Samples wrote that Booth often "lounged" in the arms of Ellen Starr, who was in Washington at the time of the Lincoln assassination. Miss Starr was but one of many."

Don't listen to these people...Lincoln was flaming.  We're talking Brokeback gay here.  It's rumored he wrote showtunes while on the toilet and had a beauty salon installed off of the Oval Office.

True President Lincoln did authorize the KILLING of countless Native Americans (cause indians live in India) After hundreds of years of oppression we Native Americans are still here despite people like ACE who are out there in the world.

Oswald could not have been the only one that shot Kennedy. Police recovered a 1940's model Manlicher Carcano bolt action rifle from the sixth floor of the TSBD building. In theory, this was the rifle Oswald was purported to have used. In reality, the weapon was barely capable of accuracy at 5o yards, let alone having 3 accurate shots fired from it in less than six seconds. The head shot Kennedy received caused his head to move backwards and to his left. The whole back of his skull was blown out. Close study of the Zapruder film shows this in graphic detail. As for 9/11...........well, Hitler burned the Reichstag in order to implement his plan. Nothing is impossible for desperate leaders

"Although the popularity of this story persists, it wasn't until recently that historians and scientists figured out that Garrett couldn't possibly draw his weapon and fire in time to kill the Kid, who already had his weapon drawn. A new theory is that the Kid was ambushed, Garret already had his weapon withdrawed and waited for the Kid to enter." - Wikipedia
