Salon: "the Warren Commission... was stacked with RFK’s political enemies"

[Mc Mike]

125. I tried the second link you posted (from Google) alleging 'RFK chose Dulles'

and re-tried your first link, again. The google link is just a sign in page, for me. The 'skeptic' link is still broken.

It's only recently that I've seen the claim that RFK chose Dulles (and now McCloy, too!). I don't doubt you read it, but I think whoever wrote it originally isn't credible. There are several news and mag photos of the WC posing for official publicity shots, and Dulles as the sole member who is broadly smiling is nausea inducing, to say the least.

Your argument about 'genetic fallacy' says (I suppose) that Dulles' well documented work on behalf of far right nazi-collaborating financial interests and the CIA's Overdark-Paperclip DDU section shouldn't give people -- that believe far right financial interests killed JFK -- any qualms about his position on the commission that investigated JFK's killing, because 'Bobby got Dulles on the Commission'.

That tack you take to legitimize the WC's findings ignores the fact that RFK (and LBJ) said the WC wasn't believable. RFK said while running for President 'I now fully realize that only the powers of the Presidency will reveal the secrets of my brother's death', two days before he was assassinated in L.A.. He told reporter Haynes Johnson (of the Washington Evening Star, and Washington Post), immediately after the assassination, that the CIA-mob anti-Castro assassins killed Kennedy. He told his '68 campaign aide Richard Lubic that he would re-open the case once he was elected and, a week before he died, went for several hours to check privately for info on a report of a phone call from Oxnard pre-warning about the assassination on the morning of 11/22.

He didn't believe the WC.
