In reality, the assassin of Robert Kennedy was not an American, but an Iranian.

Actually, Sirhan is a Palestinian, still taking up valuable space in a California jail cell. His date with the executioner was commuted to life with the possibility of parole.

Hey, even the great ones like Sowell make an error once in awhile.

You are correct, he was a Palestinian.

I’m amazed that an intellectual of Sowell’s reputation can make a mistake like that.

Well it SEEMS clear that Sirhan was a Palestinian nationalist (not Muslim) indoctrinated into his hatred of Zionism etc. His diaries reveal a demented man.

What is still unclear was whether there was a second/other gunman.
