I know there was a thread about this book a couple weeks back. Now a TV Documentary on the Discovery Channel.

[beyond the sea]

how they tried to kill the president first in Chicago, then in Tampa, Fla., and later in Dallas, where they ultimately succeeded

I heard that reported on Coast to Coast by a very credible guy a few months ago. Dallas was not the first attempt.

I'm not sure that they want to be referring to Rosselli as the "protagonist" of the story. Unless I'm wrong, and I often am, the protagonist is, in literary usage, the hero

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Well Attorney General Bobby Kennedy did go after the criminals that were enemies of the criminals on the side of his father.

[jamaksin]

"... Discovery will offer us a few startling realities about how the Secret Service destroyed crucial files covering the Tampa and Chicago attempts, and how there are still "well over 1 million CIA records" about the assassination that remain secret to this day. ..."

By these lights, it is amazing just how common this practice is.

--I can recommend the book, but it's not light reading--massively footnoted, etc.---

[Liberty Valance]

Wasn't Scott McClelland's dad convinced that LBJ had JFK killed?

[OldFriend]

How long before they start blaming Mormons for the JFK assassination!

[Poincare]

It is established fact that the Mafia tried to take credit for the hit within days of the hit. Braggarts. Whether or not they had anything to do with it, beyond Ruby, is conjecture.

[pabianice]

Since Mafia = Teamsters = Democratic Party's second biggest financial supporter, this should be interesting...

Interesting reading here:

Not very long ago there was A NEW BOOK PROVING FIDEL CASTRO ASSASINATED JFK WITH STARTLING NEW EVIDENCE NEVER BEFORE RELEASED ETC..ETC..

[Gaffrig]

"Mafia Kingfish" is a very good book on this subject.

[Courdeleon02]

It will be just another conspiracy story with little credibility. This issue has been so completely investigated its becoming ridiculous.It was Ozwald and Ozwald alone. The Warren commission has some holes in it but for the most part they got it right. As far as the mafia is concerned it is well known that a number of the mob went around bragging that " they got Kennedy." This was typical of the braggarts that hoods are.They love to inflate their power and influence. It was just garbage. They simply acted like big shots and claimed that they got Kennedy when in fact they did not. It was Ozwald period.

[SoCal Pubbie]

I guess the only question now is, did the Mafia use a double for Oswald, Corsican hitmen, E. Howard Hunt, Umbrella Man, the guy behind the picket fence, or the other guy on the triple overpass, or the guy under the man hole cover, or maybe Secret Service agents, either in the front seat or riding behind. Or as it "triangulation of fire"?

In other words, there's a lot more money to be made telling fairy tales instead of the unsettling truth, that an unstable loner like Oswald killed the President of the United States.

[Bender2]

Well... We know where this is heading...

The times change, but The New York Slimes just stays the same... New Edition Alert...

[isom35]

JFK? I heard it was a staged suicide...

If they are now going to release evidence blaming the mafia, you can be sure it’s as cover for the CIA.
