50th Anniversary of JFK Assassination-Its lasting effect on the U.S., the world

It's a good point, on a board full of political junkies not many people really think of Kennedy as politician. We all need to be reminded.
 
Where did Desh break the news that Kennedy is a politician? It appears to me that SF 'translated" her post and then his buddy Cawacko gave him an assist.

A diverse group of authors and legal experts have announced their support for a lawsuit that demands the release of secret CIA records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

At issue in the suit, filed Tuesday in Washington, are records on the unexplained role of a Miami-based undercover CIA agent named George Joannides in the months prior to Kennedy’s murder on Nov. 22, 1963. The authors supporting the suit include anti-conspiracist Gerald Posner, author of the 1993 book “Case Closed,” and Norman Mailer and Don DeLillo, two leading novelists who have explored the mysteries surrounding accused JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. Also backing the lawsuit are legal experts G. Robert Blakey, the former chief counsel of the House Select Committee on Assassinations, which in the late 1970s investigated Kennedy’s death, and John Tunheim, a federal judge who chaired the Assassination Records Review Board of the mid-1990s.

The authors and experts differ on who was responsible for the president’s murder, but all agree that the CIA must now come clean about Joannides, a career spy who died in 1990.

In 1963 Joannides served as chief of the CIA’s anti-Castro “psychological warfare” operations in Miami. According to declassified CIA records corroborated by interviews, Joannides secretly financed exiled Cuban agents who collected intelligence on Lee Harvey Oswald three months before Kennedy was killed. Fifteen years later, Joannides was called out of retirement by the CIA to serve as the agency’s liaison to the House committee looking into Kennedy’s assassination. While working with the committee, the spy withheld information about his own actions in 1963 from the congressional investigators he was supposed to be assisting. It wasn’t until 2001, 38 years after Kennedy’s death, that Joannides’ support for the Cuban exiles, who clashed with Oswald and monitored him, came to light.

The left sure is obsessed with the Kennedy's which is ironic considering the Kennedy's epitomize the greed, and self absorbed entitled behavior the left claims to abhor.

Kennedy was an average President at best. His most signature accomplishments were conservative in nature. JFK would be drummed out of today's democrat party.

He advocated tax cuts for the rich. He advocated a strong military. All things which are anathema to the left of today

IF Nixon had been president, we wouldn't even been here now.

I don't actually think the Russians wanted to go any further, they already had their buffer zone with Eastern Europe anyway. They were rightly paranoid that people like Patton wanted to carry the war on after WW2 using nuclear weapons. Anyway do you think that they would have left auld Eire alone if they did invade?
