Thank you, Peter.
Yes, the Boggs story begs to be told in detail.
Now I'll indulge myself in offering what, at best, is speculation:
If RFK wanted to disguise his intention to investigate in full the murder of his brother and otherwise appear to be in lockstep with the cover-up, he would feel obliged to send a very strong message of compliance to the watchers in the face of a formal law enforcement inquiry into the events in Dallas.
What better way to do so than to wage a believable -- that is, behind-the-scenes and ostensibly brutal -- faux campaign to discredit, disrupt, and eventually destroy the Garrison case?
Would such a Kennedy-directed two-track ploy be unprecedented?
Oh, let's see ... Perhaps Messrs. Khrushchev and Castro would care to weigh in.
Cooperation disguised by confrontation.
Movements toward peace disguised by preparations for war.
Or maybe Gerry Ford would like to show you his "Profile in Courage" award.
Just speculating, of course.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
