First of all, *thank you* for having the inner courage to write this book ("Brothers"), and for helping the American public to get closer to the truth on this subject than perhaps we've ever been before.

As a Kennedy historian and assassination researcher for the past 22 years, this book is a valuable addition to the volumes on my shelf. It's so refreshing to see that you have arrived at the same conclusions in your research as I have, and that you are coming forward to share these conclusions with the public.

An examination of Bobby Kennedy's secret investigation into his brother's murder is a book that is long overdue. It's what so many of us have been waiting more than four decades for.

With or without the cooperation of the CIA, or the release of pertinent documents by the government, Americans still long to know the truth, and thanks to years of research by independent authors and historians, the facts are finally coming to light.

What happened in Dallas on that horrible November day in `63 is no great mystery. Plenty of information and evidence is available now, more than ever before, and your book brings it all together in a way that the layman can easily understand.

Perhaps more importantly, your book may well reignite the people's quest for answers -- and for justice.

...someone set the record straight. JFK was no warmonger.

I've grown so tired of reading over and over again the assertions put forth by the elite media and so-called "real historians" that JFK was a cold warrior who would have been pleased to sacrifice thousands, if not millions of lives in wars that may well have escalated into full-out nuclear engagement. This was JFK's worst nightmare.

I'm tired of hearing JFK being blamed for starting the Vietnam war. Anyone who takes time to do the research will find that Vietnam, like Cuba, were covert actions inherited from the Eisenhower administration. (By the way, Ike didn't want to send in ground forces, either. He "passed the buck" on to JFK.)

JFK was vehemently opposed to the notion of America starting a "preemptive war" with any nation. Unless the US was attacked outright, Kennedy was never going to commit our soldiers to war. Wasn't gonna happen. Not on his watch.

Shall we take just a moment here to look at the record of the US Presidents who came before and after him? Who's a warmonger?

Woodrow Wilson - ran and won on a platform of keeping the US out of Europe's war...then turned around and got us into WWI.

Franklin Roosevelt - same peace platform as Wilson. WWII.

Harry Truman - dropped the H-bomb. Very peaceful man indeed.

Dwight Eisenhower - Korean War. (Korea never attacked us)

Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon - Vietnam. (same story)

And George W. Bush???? Oh, don't get me started!!!!

JFK's record of keeping this country out of war speaks for itself. He didn't just talk the talk, he walked the walk.

Let us remember that John Kennedy was a war hero in WWII. He had seen his share of action and knew all too well the horrors of war. Let us also remember that JFK volunteered for Navy service, against the wishes of his isolationist father, and at a time when many rich kids with important daddies were ducking active service or using family influence to get nice cushy assignments behind a desk. Instead of doing this, JFK begged his superiors for an assignment right in the middle of the action. And action was what he got when his PT boat was sliced in half by a Japanese destroyer in the Solomon Islands.

JFK's war experience taught him many valuable lessons and he returned from WWI a changed man. A wiser man. A more temperate man. Yes, he was prepared to fight should this country ever experience another Pearl Harbor-like attack, but he certainly wasn't going to be swept up in the hysterical rush to judgement that so often circulates in diplomatic, military and intelligence circles every time a new perceived enemy pops up on our national radar.

This was, of course, not good news for the CIA/MI and the Joint Chiefs when he didn't take the bait to invade Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. When he resolved the Cuban Missle Crisis peacefully without a shot being fired. Or negotiating a Test Ban treaty with the Soviets. Or when he made the decision to start getting our boys out of Vietnam. And it sure as hell wasn't good news for the warmongers when he spoke at American University of "not just peace in our time, but peace for all time."

JFK was a true President of Peace. I find it astonishing that this man never received the Nobel Peace Prize, while Wilson, Cordell Hull and even (gasp!) Henry Kissinger did. Go figure.

Hey David, thought you and all readers of "Brothers" might enjoy this little interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - he was on "Hardball" Friday with your friend and mine, Chris Matthews.;)

This clip is about 4.5 minutes, Kennedy's right on the money. He manages to condense the rather intricate Castro/CIA monkeybusiness into a concise soundbite. (No mean feat, as I'm sure you know from your recent round of TV interviews.)

If you didn't see this live, it's on You Tube:

Thought RFK Jr. did an admirable job of defending the "Kennedy Family Jewels" here...enjoy.:)
