The way that certain people are actively trying to tarnish the legacy of Camelot is absolutely vile. Reading the JFK Files should not be the business of anyone, but the Kennedy family, who, mind you, was most likely not given any prior recourse to them being released. I certainly will NOT be reading them.
It's like people want to portray his remembrance as Jack Kennedy, the former President who got shot in the head during a motorcade with his wife right by his side and whom also tried to pick up pieces of his fragmented skull.
JFK was more than just November 22nd, 1963. Reducing him to the final moments in Dallas is such an insult to him. And the countless conspiracies that have come out about him in recent years, which are so baseless and simply untrue.
He was a visionary leader who was way ahead of his time and inspired a whole generation. He challenged the country to reach for the stars. He launched the Apollo program which eventually put the first man on the moon. He was a champion for civil rights even when it was considered to be "politically inconvenient" for him. He was a diplomatic man who handled the Cuban Missile Crisis with a refreshing grace and manner which we can only long for to see from people in this day and age. And so much more at that...
Joan Kennedy said it best.
“I don’t think it’s fair to do to the deceased. They can’t defend themselves. I believe the Warren Commission because Senator Kennedy believed the Warren Commission. He didn’t think it did anyone any good to believe otherwise. It wouldn’t be good for The Country. It wouldn’t be good for The Kennedys."
