Where to buy the very good 1992 British documentary on the assassination of RFK

A further puzzle to me: Why use a hypno-programmed pseudo-assassin (Sirhan) when the job could just as easily have been undertaken by a conventional patsy - I typed "pasty" initially, which error was not without a certain surreal charm - bumped off, a la LHO, post-hit? This has long perplexed me. Sirhan, after all, required after-care. Was it just a case of they had the technology, so they deployed it?

I'll just jump in here and observe note that surviving patsies are surprisingly common. In addition to Sirhan there was James Earl Ray (dead now but live in prison for decades), Arthur Bremmer, and Wayne Williams. I don't think Ray and Williams were even programmed, just framed. I don't know about Bremmer.

Then there is Mark David Chapman and John Hinkley who may have been patsies or may have been CIA/World Vision stooges.

And there is Tim McVeigh, who is in that third category somewhere between surviving patsy and dead patsy.

Back to the patsies, perhaps dead ones are too blatant for even the US government mobsters.I know people who where only 12 years old when they saw Lee Oswald gunned down and they still knew something was wrong with that picture. Granted it happened on live TV...
