Yes, since its bullshit.
If RFK has been telling Allen Dulles what to do, then he would not have needed to be briefed by the CIA when the story broke in 1962. He was not around for any of the beginnings of those plots. He did not know anything about the CIA or its operations until JFK moved him over to Mongoose. And that was to keep an eye on the CIA.
The interview by the Church Committee with CIA's Scott Breckinridge--who co-wrote the IG Report-- makes this all pretty clear. But further, he admits the CIA knowingly lied to RFK about the plots being halted. They knew they had not been stopped. They were ongoing as RFK was briefed. And they describe his reactions just as Hoover did, the longer they spoke, the harder he was grinding his teeth.
The only decent part of Bugliosi's book is where he interviews Helms about a year before he died and Dirty Dick said, the Kennedys knew nothing about the plots. In fact, as Siegenthaler told Ron Goldfarb, RFK called Helms into his office and scolded him about it once he found out.
But there is even more on this coming out in Lisa Pease's book on RFK.
More of the Loony left.
