The public role of government in relation to the JFK assassination plays an integral role in determining to what degree knowledge was accessible and contrarily actively ignored. The notion that the act of assassination within this context of government is public is epitomised by the release of government documents (previously inaccessible in theory or in practice) under The John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act.

[ extract from above ]
The key to understanding this book is the distinction I propose between traditional conspiracy theory, looking at conscious secret collaborations toward shared ends, and deep political analysis, defined on page 7 as the study of "all those political practices and arrange- ments, deliberate or not, which are usually repressed rather than acknow-ledged." The essence of the first is a single objective and/or control point; the second in contrast is an open system with divergent power centers and goals.
A critical review of Peter Dale Scott's Deep Politics surmising that, "Scott's failure occurs as throughout the entire book . . . he continually swings back and forth, all in the name of deep political analysis, and seems to draw not one conclusion but several contradictory ones. . . . Simply summarized, everything in the political sphere, as well as in the national and international spheres, has been connected to the Kennedy assassination on November 22, 1963 in some way".
The role politics played in the JFK assassination is contentious and depends upon the agenda of whomever is considering the issue. Consider Peter Dale Scott's definition of deep political analysis: "looking beneath public formulations of policy issues to the bureaucratic, economic, and ultimately covert and criminal activities which underlie them" in respect to the role politics played in knowledge and the wilful unknowing of information regarding the JFK assassination.
