Mike Colapietro is an investigative journalist. This book is far more readable than the other three books I've mentioned. However, the first printing of this book was not carefully proofread; it contains a lot of proofreading oversights.
On page 392, Stone and Colapietro quotes the following statement made by Noam Chomsky in
""Who knows and who cares,' he replied. "Plenty of people get killed all the time. Why does it matter that one of them happened to be John F. Kennedy? If there was some reason to believe there was a high level conspiracy, it might be interesting, but the evidence against that is overwhelming. And after that, it's just a matter of if it happened to be a jealous husband or the Mafia or someone else, what difference does it make? It's just taking energy away from serious issues to the ones that don't matter.'"
Stone and Colapietro use Chomsky's dismissive statement as a springboard to set forth their own reply to him on pages 392-393:
"Why care about a murder that happened fifty years ago? The Kennedy assassination goes hand-in-hand with the popular distrust of the government that sprung up in the late 1960s. The assassination of Kennedy dug the foundation of distrust; the lies that landed us in [the] Vietnam War and the Watergate break-in commented it.
"In order to win back the trust of the people, it is the government's responsibility to come clean."
In theory, I agree that the government should come clean about President Kennedy's assassination. However, I do not expect to see this happen.
Why not? Let me explain why not.
