The son of Robert F. Kennedy has offered his opinion as to the death of his uncle-President John F, Kennedy. Robert F. Kennedy Jr said recently that he believes the Warren Commission was a "shoddy piece of craftsmanship" and that his uncle was not killed by a lone gunman. He suspects that Mafia leadership was behind the killing. The younger Kennedy said that he suspects that his father's campaign against organized crime may have had something to do with the assassination. Kennedy Jr said he had "investigators examine the phone records of Jack Ruby, the man who shot Oswald two days later, and found that they 'were like an inventory of top Mafia leaders'". What I find personally upsetting about the death of JFK-other than his death itself-is that elements of the government or major leaders in our government may have acted to keep the truth from coming out. As was said re Watergate, its the cover up that was the most appalling. Its just like the sexual abuse scandal within the Catholic Church; its the cover up that is the hardest thing to accept.
