Nathaniel Heidenheimer: Not recommended by National Security States anywhere... yet check out who DOES recommend it... THAT contrast might be educational... The book, JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters, by James W. Douglass, has been endorsed by - Ted Sorenson, writer of many of * JFKs most important speeches;* - Daniel Ellsberg of Pentagon Papers fame; - Marcus Raskin, who served in the JFK administration as McGeorge Bundy’s assistant on national security affairs and disarmament as a member of the Special Staff of the National Security Council; - Ray McGovern, CIA analyst (served 27 years in CIA, and oversaw the preparation of the National Security Estimate for the US Congress and (redacted) for US citizens, and briefed Reagan and (GHW) Bush (presidential Daily Briefs for Bush). prepared presidential daily briefs; and also by - JFKs nephew, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (son of Robert F. Kennedy); and many more. One can tell its an important book when it receives key endorsements like this, but is basically ignored by the New York Times in favor of trash like Bill OReillys Killing Kennedy. Many great footnotes, as my friends who have read it can attest. Ask for it for Christmas from a loved one if you have not yet read it. It reads like a murder mystery or spy thriller that develops a chapter, and then in the next, picks up some of the leads that were not followed in the previous chapter, showing how important barely noticed details can be. It spirals wonderfully into a clearer view of what happened than many earlier works on the JFK assassination were able to achieve, in part because it builds on older research and on newly released government files, made public by request and by law in recent decades.-- Paul Adrian Fried ----------------------- Did Allen Dulles and other “cloak-and-dagger CIA operatives have a hand in killing President Kennedy and then covering it up? The most up-to-date — and, in my view, the best — dissection of the assassination appeared last year in James Douglass’s book, JFK and the Unspeakable. After updating and arraying the abundant evidence, and conducting still more interviews, Douglass concludes the answer is Yes.-- Ray McGovern, former CIA pdb to President H.W. Bush See the article Are Presidents Afraid of the CIA by Ray McGovern, originally published by Consortium News, the sight of Robert Parry who broke some of the most important early Iran-Contra stories before exiting Newsweek.
