Jackie on the assassination, per Caroline.

[Don Roberdeau]

[COLOR="navy"].... Good Day Dawn .... At her death, per a codicil in her 1994 will, Mrs. Kennedy actually, specifically, sealed-away from the public any and all access to these same transcribed oral history conversations (currently stored in Boston at the JFK library). Mrs. Kennedy's last wishes also specified that her oral history was not to be made public for 50 years until 2044, or, until after her last living child had passed on, whichever happened last........

........ For some reason(s), (which is definitely not her need-for-ca$h) at this time [i]Caroline is choosing to not honor this element of her mother's last wishes....

Yesterday Erick picked up a scandal sheet for me as the cover story was on Jackie O and what Caroline will cover in her book. Jackie thought LHO was a patsy. BUT Caroline is not going into just who Jackie REALLY thought who killed her husband. Keeping it to J Edna. Which is a start but, I think is foolish and dangerous for Caroline. She is in essence covering for the killers. I do not know how much Jack confided in his wife or how much Jackie knew about the power structures who were angry with JFK, beyond the FBI. I think two things are significant: Jackie did not want these tapes revealed until 2039, because of her fear that the assassins would come after her and her kids. And the question of the release now.

Well I just went back and looked at the article and realized it says she will NOT reveal who Jackie thought who did it. The FBI. Curious.

So I have no clue what will be in the book. IF there will be bombshells.

IF Caroline is revealing what her mother believed- ie that the WC was the load of crap we know it to be then one has to wonder why she is revealing against her mother's wishes. My belief is that she knows they killed her brother and this is her attempt to protect herself and the rest of her family.
