It feels like some people are expecting an official CIA press-release stating "we killed Kennedy"...

I even remember a thread by a guy saying that the ultimate proof that there was no conspiracy involved in 9-11 was the fact that "no one came out and said 'I was part of it'".

Yeah, sure, because we all expect criminals to willingly confess their crimes...
