There's a fair amount of errors in Case Closed though, which make it about as useful as the pro-conspiracy books. Posner is a dick forever though for his famous post-9/11 "focus and clarity" editorial in the Wall Street Journal where he reversed his opinion on Bush II and came out in support of him.
Still, I would have liked to have seen of his debates with Vincent Bugliosi.

Deep Politics and the Death of JFK?
i agree, it's an interesting read.
for me, the most plausible scenario is the one discussed in this book:
Live By the Sword by Gus Russo
it more or less argues for Oswald acting alone, but creates context for his motivations.
here's the forward from the book for good measure.

Kennedy — An Unfinished Life, by Robert Dallek
You could also say much the same about 9/11.

The dude defected to the Soviet Union! Do people forget this? Also, some dude he was in the service with thought he was a fake commie working for the CIA to find real ones.

Later, the KGB figured that Oswald acted with potential mob help, and that the CIA and FBI didn't care since Kennedy was out of their hair.

Well, there's no convincing evidence for string theory, yet, and we're not giving up on that.
Berating conspiracy theorists for lacking evidence has always struck me as rather unscientific. You invent hypotheses and then gather evidence, right?, not the other way around. If you totally disregard hypotheses that lack evidence, no one would ever gather evidence and there'd be a moratorium on new ideas.
It's only been sixty years, and that's nuthin. Sometimes it takes centuries to solve a murder.

In re: thread title question. The Warren Commission Report was meant to lay the basis for a national consensus.
Obv it failed in its stated purpose. But it came close enough that it achieved its major unstated purpose, which was to quell the national grief and anger and prevent it from spilling into irrational mob action.

The Wrong Guy, a dark comedy starring Dave Foley, includes a scene of a conspiracy theorist claiming no bullet struck Kennedy, insisting "his head just did that", and calls it "The No Bullet Theory".

I watched the old James Woods film True Believer last night. The character on whom the main story hinges adamantly believes that AT & T was behind the Kennedy assassination. Yes, it's played for laughs.
