JFK documents to be released: Will we learn anything new?...

not likely.

It occurred to me this morning that I am among the dwindling number of people remaining who was not only alive when JFK was assassinated, but of an age to comprehend what was going on.

We all have a brain cell specifically set aside for what we were doing when we first heard about the shooting.

I received a phone call just moments after the shooting telling me to turn on the TV because JFK had just been shot.  I thought it was a joke.  It wasn't.

We saw the shocking assassination in real time, witnessed Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed on live TV, and spent day after day watching the state funeral.

I still remember the riderless horse, Black Jack, following the funeral caisson carrying the body of JFK.  He was very frisky that day and so very beautiful.

I was shy of 17 years old by about a month, but already smart enough to know something wasn't right with the story emerging from the FBI and CIA.

Think on this for a moment: 

Witnesses  from the recent shooting in Las Vegas are running around telling people there was more than one shooter. 

Back in the day of JFK we had the "grassy knoll" in Dallas.

In both cases, those who are spouting a story contrary to the official rendering are called tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorists and soundly mocked.

The majority of people who were involved in any way in the assassination or follow up investigation of JFK have bit the bullet, bought the farm, or have shuffled off to a better place (maybe.)

Do you really believe that anything of truth survived beyond whatever was the 1963 version of a paper shredder?

Call me cynical, which is nothing more than a euphemism for being a logical rational being, but I'm greeting these documents with a big yawn.

I was never a JFK fan, but I was a fan of what he represented:

  Hope and the beauty and promises of Camelot.

  On November 22, 1963 the people of this country woke up to reality:

The End of Camelot
