My boss at the time, who did have some decent contacts, always told me that it was shot down to kill McDonald. Supposedly, he had a list of current American Communist members. I would have thought they would have been known anyway, but there was something on that list that someone didn't want revealed. I have no idea whether or not there is any validity to this argument.
