How about some source for the claim that Lansdale was allegedly photographed at Dealey Plaza right after the JFK assassination. Ken Kukec 17:08, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

well, since it's a claim, the source isn't going to be definitive. see the controversy standards. Benwetmore 16:50, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

KENNEDY ASSASSINATION

Rumours persist that Lansdale was behind the assassination of John F Kennedy in 1963.

In the fictional account of Kennedy's death in Oliver Stone's "JFK" it has been rumoured that Lansdale is represented in the film by Donald Sutherland as "Mr X". Spiralwhats in your boxCox (talk) 21:02, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
