"Actually, there were probably dozens of plots to kill Kennedy, because everybody hated Kennedy but the public," .."The question is, which one of them worked? My dad has always said, 'Thank God one of them worked.' I think he knows a lot more than he told me. He claimed he backed out of the plot only so he could disclaim actual involvement. In a way, I feel like he only opened another can of worms." He takes a deep breath. "At a certain point, I'm just going to have to let it go."
One person I would have thought would have dug the deepest into the assassinaton of JFK was Senator Ted Kennedy. I guess he just decided to "let it go".
Actually I was in the AF in San Angelo, Texas at the time. Lived off base and was playing Bridge with a neighbor and his wife when he exclaimed, "Good, they finally got him".
I couldn't believe my ears..Shocked that anybody could have said such a thing.
Later it made more sense when I learned that Jackie said, "See, they really love you here.", minutes before Jack was shot. They seemed to know it was a big risk being there. This was LBJ's territory.
It's particularly strange that Robert Kennedy, head of the U.S. Justice department, displayed a marked lack of interest, and had little to do with the Warren Commission investigations.
He's been the closest one to his older brother, and had always been devoted to him. By all accounts Bobby was heartbroken by his brother's murder, but he did very little to uncover the truth himself, although you might have thought that with all his resources he would have done everything possible to uncover the whole truth of the assassination. Bobby was a pugnacious, fierce little SOB and it doesn't sound like him not to have done so.
