You are surely right about selecting Sirhan in part because he looks like and would be taken to be a Palestinian, promoting a sub-conscious bias against those who kill our most admired leaders. This was replicated on 9/11 by adopting 19 Islamic fundamentalists and a guy off in a cave in Afghanistan as the "patsies" extending that pattern. Take a look at my London lecture, "Are wars in Iraq and Afghanistan justified by 9/11?", http://noliesradio.org/archives/21621/ on the "dancing Israels", for example. According to John Armstrong, of course, the agency has gone much further by having two young men lead parallel lives for the sake of one ("Harvey") serving as the patsy, in part for acts taken by the other ("Lee"). As I have elsewhere explained on this forum, I have my own doubts about the adequacy of his research, but it is fascinating that at least one serious student of JFK has suggested the agency would go to even greater extremes to promote its own nefarious schemes.

Another thing that would work as strategy would be using Sirhan Sirhan to draw animosity towards the Palestinians - a group that just so happened to be the "enemy" of a foreign government our government was backing at the time and using as justification in a new front against the Soviets in the Middle East. I'm not so sure how much Bobby was a symbol of anti-Palestinian powers. And don't forget Sirhan was a christian. By installing maniacal hate in Sirhan through hypnosis CIA could kill three birds with one stone by using it to drive him towards shooting Bobby. I'm not sure if Bobby threatened the Palestinians as much as those who opposed them. In any case we can clearly see the typical modus operandi of a certain organization fleshing-out here. One that was already well practiced at sheep dipping and creating agent provocateurs like Oswald and people who weren't what they seemed they were.
