It's an interesting question, and one Americans have every right to keep asking as JFK's death was an assault on American democracy.
I think the public would have largely accepted the lone gunman theory by now if it weren't for RFK's assassination when he was on the brink of reaching the office on his own and checking things out himself.
It seems the Kennedys were on good social terms with a lot of the CIA people like the Meyers, Angletons, etc. With the exception of some of the special ops paramilitary people, the CIA was full of elite academics who had an enlightened international outlook to the extent that was possible at the time. If I was an oddsmaker, the military-industrial establishment would be above one percent, and the CIA would be lower.
No doubt there were a lot of people back then who distrusted him for his Catholicism, support of the nascent civil rights movement, skepticism of the military-industrial agenda, agreement not to invade Cuba and so forth. Not sure how British Intelligence felt about him...he was Irish Catholic, but on the other hand his father was an ambassador to the UK.
I'd be very disappointed if the government doesn't know everything on some level with appropriate consequences for those involved.
