And so 9-11.
Remember Jimmy Breslin -- the wreath at the funeral of the victim of a mob hit and its banner, which reads, "We're sorry it had to come to this."
Peter: Welcome, brother. I've missed the sight of your voice. You have a home with us.
I'll agree with you that JFK and the Unspeakable is the most important JFK assassination-related volume in recent years. But brother Douglass's interpretation of Chicago is naive (as is his interpretation of the JFK hit as a justification for an invasion of Cuba).
Chicago was theater, pure and simple.
Cuba and the Castros, then and now, are far more valuable to the unspeakable powers-that-be in place than overturned.
Which, of course, does not diminish Douglass and his towering achievement.
Heady stuff, ey?

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.
