Five former members of John F. Kennedy's Secret Service detail gathered at Georgetown University on Monday night for a public discussion of their time serving the iconic president. The event, which included a preview of an upcoming Discovery Channel documentary on the agents' careers, touched on the defining facets of the Kennedy presidency and ranged from lighthearted anecdotes about time with the first family to somber recollections of Kennedy's assassination in Dallas in November 1963.

I'm currently reading "The Kennedy Detail". The companion book to the Discovery Channel program. Very interesting. To anyone who remembers that day, or who has studied it, this is a "must read".

After 47 years? It's hard to believe that people are still milking this cow! If Abe Z. had left his camera home that day... what would we be talking about?

I am not complaining about remembering the incident. We have taken it far beyond that. Many books have been written, using it as a cash cow. After 47 years, we learn from agent Hill that Jackie Kennedy was a "closet smoker"?

And in 2010, with all sorts of high tech tools, and all sorts of investigative reports, all sorts of analysis by academics, historians, and legal professionals, and all sorts of freedom of information...


....we still don't know who killed Kennedy.

The whitewash of the murder of a President would have much easier to cover up ! That's what would have happened.......
