>>Somehow they will blame it on Eisenhower and Nixon
Actually, I've seen it blamed on J. Edgar Hoover, which I guess is like blaming it on Calvin Coolidge.
And RFK was AG, and I believe directly approved it.
Oh someone was already spouting on Slate that RFK didn't know about it, which is hogwash. RFK knew that Johnson was tapping and allegedly put some scrambler in his pocket when he had to meet with him so that no useable tapes would be produced.
