Does this mean the Warren Commission forgot to ask these guys any questions?

Oliver Stone’s movie was pretty convincing to anyone who had never been to Daley Plaza. Once you go there and you see how close quarters it really is, you realize that Oswald was shooting fish in a barrel. Didn’t require a sharp shooter. Just someone remotely competent with a rifle.
It may well be that Oswald acted alone. However the Kennedys’ use of the mob in regards to Castro makes everything they did murky.
Explain why the records are sealed, as requested by the Kennedy family, until everyone alive that day is deceased.
Sorry, Imagine the single piece of evidence that would have proved the Warren Commission Report was correct magically disappears. Yes President Kennedy's brain, which forensic scientist agree would have conclusively showed the path the bullet took thought Kennedy's head (front to rear or rear to front), magically disappeared without explanation never to be found again.
Sorry, when the government lost Kennedy's brain it was no reason for me to lose mine.
Executive order 11110.
Suggest reading "Dr. Mary and the Monkey" and you will see how Utilitarian MO's fashion ugly realities. (JFK assassination is the 'side' story; but Oswald and CIA/mafia/Castro et al elements - New Orleans and Dallas, very much a part of it.)
If all so innocent here; why were records sealed for another, however many years? There is a legitimate record of facts out there; but those most pertinent, are not being shared by our Gov and won't be; at least, not during lifetime of those alive and impacted; by JFK's assassination.
Anyone see a film called “Winter Kills” back in the 70s? It was a comedy, but had a profoundly interesting & surprising take on the real motivation behind the JKF’s assassination.
I am much more interested in who dropped the ball and let a Kenyan be President, than in who shot Kennedy.
Kennedy is History, we still have to deal with a Muslim in the White House.

FYI, I am not into this conspiracy stuff and have never bought a book or sat through a movie or TV show on the subject.
However, for the past decade, I worked with a man who was a Navy Seal attached to the CIA in the early 1960’s. He was very well connected into the intelligence community until his death (heart attack while riding a motorcycle) last year. We were in Houston on a business trip a few years ago and the JFK assassination came up in conversation. For some odd reason, he began to tell me the whole Bay of Pigs and assassination story from the CIA’s perspective. I acknowledge that he could have been telling a campfire story, but, mid way through the story,he had an angina attack and put a nitroglycerin patch on. After telling me the story, he closed his eyes and went through some calming breathing exercises. We got home OK.
He said that the CIA encouraged Oswald to shoot Kennedy and gave Oswald some key timing data on the pathway Kennedy would travel that day.
In order to make it easier for Oswald, the CIA planted the “Umbrella Man” and equipped his umbrella with a silent gun loaded with a flechette filled with a paralyzing agent. The man opened the umbrella and fired the flechette at Kennedy's throat. Kennedy grasped at his throat and became paralyzed. Oswald then shot at a relatively stiff target.
Here is the link my friend provided:

BTW, my friend said there was no second shooter and that part of the above link story is wrong. Oswald shot alone, but was assisted by the CIA.
read “Six Seconds in Dallas”, there are several good books that do bring up serious questions.
I recall the Warren Commission reports on TV and even as a kid they didn’t make sense and seemed to have gaps and holes in them.
The idea that YOU think you can declare the subject closed tells more about you than anyone who doesn’t believe the ‘official’ government report.
Anyone who knows that there was a conspiricy to assassinate Kennedy in Chicago on Nov 2 and in Tampa on Nov 18, and then believes that there was no conspiricy in Dallas is just plain whacked out.
Of interest, but hardly a documentary is Don DeLillo's book. Libra. A mixture of fact and fiction. Putting aside the authors conclusions though, it does go into the actual personality of Lee Harvey Oswald. I know Libra is an astrological sign. I will presume the majority of Freepers dismiss astrology as an indicator of personality traits.
For me the deciding factor and absolutely well documented in most accounts of the awful tragedy of the assassination, is the conduct of Lee Harvey Oswald following the flurry after the shooting. To me he was in a daze, knowing what he had done. The police came in to the repository and Oswald calmly got a soft drink from a vending machine. Dispelling immediate confrontation- clever move. Next, the instinct of survival kicked in. He went in a shoe store fumbling about and not buying. He went into the movie theatre. He slipped in without paying and staff saw him. He shouted "this is it", when the police came in and laid hands on him.
I try to put into context what an innocent employee of the book depository would have done at the time. To me, that innocent employee was not Oswald.
Back when Oliver Stone’s movie about the assassination came out, my brother met the man who claimed to be X. He tried to convince me and our parents that Stone’s version was correct. He kept telling us, “he was sitting right here in my dining room and told me everything. He’s the real deal.”
My brother was totally convinced Stone had the story right. Time has passed and he has read lots more on the subject and he no longer believes it.
