Dear Forum,
Another word: I can't believe that if Garrison had met with Bobby Kennedy, he wouldn't have spoken of it, given the pain he felt over what Sheridan did to him, and how Bobby defended Sheridan. Garrison had the opportunity to tell Buras and Delsa about any meetings he might have had with Bobby Kennedy, for example, particularly L. J. with whom he became friends during and after the HSCA investigation. He could have spoken of it in his long interview with Gaeton Fonzi. He did not.
I interviewed Turner many times, and Turner never mentioned any meeting between Garrison and RFK to me. I haven't a shred of evidence that Garrison ever met Bobby.
There was a fellow who attached himself to the Garrison investigation, the son of the actress Ruth Gordon and the producer Jed Harris who floated a false story that Garrison had met Bobby Kennedy and that Bobby urged him to go forward, but it turned out to be bogus. Garrison never trusted this individual. His name escapes me for the moment.
The idea that Garrison was a fitting, appropriate or acceptable victim for a two strategies policy by Bobby Kennedy pains me. And Garrison and his life's work were sacrificed for...what? To this day, the name "Garrison" is anathema to the mainstream press. He deserves better.
