It's no real surprise and only makes things official. I'd love to find those other skeletons Hoover put in many other cupboards. Maybe one day we"ll find out about other famous killings .

I agree, nothing new here. For being an organization with a foundation based on secrecy, the CIA has not done too good of a job at that.

Just wondering what else is currently going on that the public is not aware of? Torture has been a hot topic in recent months, I always got a chuckle out of Bush's response on the matter. " this country does not torture."

Of course, it was the CIA and the Mob that pegged Kennedy as well (at LBJ's direction)
