The old fart does have an attitude, anyway.

If the Cubans really were behind Johnny-boy getting his cranium perforated, I'd say that's pretty embarassing for the US intelligence agencies. I mean, they've tried to snuff Castro something like a dozen times (and by really kooky plots in some cases, apparently), and the pesky Commies manage to whack a Prez of theirs in one go...? Kinda pathetic, really.

...
...you know, the little cynic in me just started wondering if the supposed anti-Kennedy elements in the relevant agencies (of whom there AFAIK was no shortage of after the Bay of Pigs if nothing else) let the Cubans pull their little stunt out of sheer spite...

That'd at least be a new angle to the rather worn JFK conspiracy theories, neh ?
