I pride myself on my knowledge of American history (it beats your knowledge of Australia, guaranteed), but there's no way in hell I'd have found anything suspect in him being implicated in the JFK assassination. Thousands of alternative theories have been proposed, and how should a university student from Australia know if the name of some obscure American was or was not included amongst those theories? How about someone from Canada, the UK, Romania, France, New Zealand, South Africa, Brasil, Russia ... ? How --- *why* --- should we know?
We Canadians do manage better the rest of you lot on that score. I just love it when a Canadian contestant on "Jeopardy" runs a US history category, and leaves the citizens in the dust. 8-)
