Dear Charles,
I would have to factor in examples of the "other" side of Bobby Kennedy, his collaborations with Charlie Ford, William Harvey and Sam Halperin on Mongoose, and the Venezuela fiasco; the Otepka case; the wiretapping in the Hoffa case while denying he favored wiretapping; etc. As for Jim Garrison, he really was perplexed, and later he said that the way Bobby could have preserved his life was by coming forward with what he knew and what he suspected.
I try to avoid the "would have dones." I know what Garrison tried to do, and that he never held back. There were political consequences, and he suffered them, but he was not ambitious in the way that Bobby Kennedy was. I have never written this, but looking at this debate, it occurs to me that Bobby Kennedy owed Jim Garrison an enormous debt of gratitude. Garrison cared what happened to Bobby's BROTHER.
Plus: Is there an adult human being who doesn't recognize that there may be no "later"?
