Book Overview

On June 5th, 1968, at L.A.'s Ambassador Hotel, Robert F. Kennedy celebrated his victory in the California Democratic primary with a rousing victory speech anticipating a successful run for the presidency. Moments later, gunshots shattered that dream. The police quickly apprehended Sirhan Sirhan, who the world believed had single-handedly masterminded the shooting. But in Who Killed Bobby?

A Cover-Up with Malice

I knew this to be good at the outset having seen author Shane O'Sullivan's thoughtful eight-minute interview on Irish television. In addition, Jim DiEugenio Chairman of Citizens for Truth in the Kennedy Assassination had looked at it with his special intensity and found it on balance a positive contribution to the research. I was most intensely moved by Shane O'Sullivan's thorough presentation of the actions of LAPD officers Pena and Hernandez in an obvious cover-up with malice. The two in question are familiar to anyone having read the initial Turner and Christian and the subsequent Klaber and Melanson--AID-trained, doing the (CIA's) work with police departments in Central and South America, shredding the interviews (Pena) and polygraphs (Hernandez) of any witnesses interfering with the lone-nut, single-gun theory. One may choose to believe or not believe Sirhan's claim he does not remember the period between drinking coffee with the young woman and being "choked" on the steam table, but medical examiner Thomas Noguchi's testimony that Kennedy's head shot had residue indicating a muzzle distance of no more than one inch is not, in my view, open to question. Tremendous pressure was placed on Noguchi to change his testimony--charges of unprofessional conduct which he defeated. Just as the defense attorney was under the shadow of legal liability for conduct in another case. Witnesses received threats to change their testimony in addition to the bullying by Hernandez and the censoring by Pena. If there is fault here in the writing it is perhaps in accepting Moldea's defense of Cesar based on polygraph--does no one note Aldrich Ames passed his "flutter" after coaching from his KGB handler? Also, there is an Antonioni Blow-Up (1966) attempt to find CIA assassin David Sanchez Morales at the Ambassador that night, in company with other CIA officials. This was a line of inquiry less successful than the rest, but the author's honesty in presenting all of it adds to his overall credibility. In sum, we have here a fresh look by a bright mind from another time and another culture who finds compelling evidence for conspiracy and argues for reopening the case.

for a great Lawrence Teeter interview.....

Sullivan Accounts for RFK Evidence

As an avid researcher of the Robert F. Kennedy assassination, I enjoyed Sullivan's chronology of this event and what official investigators and researchers have determined. He covers possible answers thoroughly, but I wish he would consider the idea that Sirhan fired blanks more as Sullivan acknowledges no bullet has been tied to Sirhan's gun.
