Wow. That is a pretty insightful portrait of an empty soul operating during a terrible time.

Interesting. I watch the whole thing and still felt like it only scratched the surface.

a lot to say about this, no time right now. Keeping it bookmarked to see again. I wonder what Carl Colby is up to these days? and does anyone know when this film was made?

(7,321 posts)7. very interesting to hear JFK's conversation wrt VN
and the disagreement between him and his brother wrt going ahead with Operation Phoenix, the Coup etc.
Robert tried making a very compelling (if not stating the obvious) case against travelling down that road.
John was in to it.. sad but confirmed to be true in that conversation.

the secrets.
