People that accept the official story on this one are either not too bright, or don't care enough to examine for themselves how fishy the whole thing seems to be.
My view is that it is NOT a matter of intelligence. It is a matter of psychological defense mechanisms, as to whether one believes the official story or doubts it.
Nobody really wants to come to terms with the fact that government lies to the citizenry, even though politicians and leaders have been assassinating each other for as long as they have existed. Cognitive Dissonance is the term.
The Warren Commission was a deception, just like the 911 Commission. It was meant to protect the guilty parties while paying lip service to the gullible public.
There was circumstantial evidence connecting Jack Ruby to the assassination of MLK too. Small world, eh?
