Kennedy and his sister, Rory, were interviewed by Charlie Rose on Friday night in front of an audience in Dallas as a year of observances begins for the 50th anniversary of the president's death.Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is convinced that a lone gunman wasn't solely responsible for the assassination of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, and said his father believed the Warren Commission report was a "shoddy piece of workmanship."
Their uncle was killed on Nov. 22, 1963. Five years later, their father was assassinated in a Los Angeles hotel during his primary victory celebration. Robert Kennedy said his father spent a year trying to come to grips with his brother's death.
He said he read writings by Greek philosophers, Catholic scholars, poets and Henry David Thoreau "trying to figure out kind of the existential implications of why a just God would allow injustice to happen of the magnitude he was seeing."
He said his father believed the Warren Commission, which concluded Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing the president, was a "shoddy piece of workmanship." He said that he, too, questioned the report.
TVNL Comment: The nonsense of the Warren Commission is just like the almost laughable contents of the 9/11 Commission Report. Both were designed to corroborate the official versions of events as designed by the government. Both are bogus. Both should be trashed and new investigatgions should be launched. Don't hold your breath.
