'Culture of Secrecy'? I do not think of that when I think about Kennedy's administration. The back channels and such were necessary because some around him did not want peace and there was no other safe way to work on this. But the author implies Kennedy had a 'penchant' for secrecy that would come to 'haunt' him. And comparing him to Obama? Nothing like him. He hasn't even got it right about Assad and the so called gas/chemical bomb. A superficial researcher and hardly a historian of much consequence. But he is flogging a book I see.
