I saw the interview with Thom Hartmann and he presented an account
of the Kennedy assassination that was completely convincing to me (of
course, I never paid any attention to the detailed information that is
available so there is no real reason to listen to me).  What Hartmann
claimed is that Kennedy was assassinated by the mob because his
brother Bobby was pursuing mob figures with too much enthusiasm.
Why would the Warren commission cover this up?  Here is the beauty
of Thom's account.  According to Hartmann most of the members of
the Warren commission believed that a serious investigation of Kennedy's
assassination would lead back to Cuba and from there to Russia and
hence to WWIII.  They hamstrung the investigation because they mistakenly
believed that Cuba would be implicated by a serious investigation. Hartmann
wrote a book on the subject some years ago -- I've not read it nor do I
feel I need to since his account to Amy Goodman settled this issue for
me.  John Palmer
