Oliver Stone`s ”JFK” has stirred passions by highlighting aspects of John F. Kennedy`s assassination and its investigative aftermath that were particularly sinister and/or grotesque. Stone depicts those events like a tragedy script by John Le Carre for the Keystone Cops.
Rep. Louis Stokes, chair of the House Select Committee on Presidential Assassinations, has refused to reopen the sealed files on JFK because a ”lot of raw data . . . would tend to . . . embarrass people” with the ”rumors, innuendoes, things of that sort” contained in the files.
With so many of the principals in the assassination dead, there is one last place to go in search of untapped evidence: The KGB files on Lee Harvey Oswald.
Let`s take advantage of our new friendship with the Russians to request that the relevant files be passed on to the appropriate U.S. authorities. Can Boris Yeltsin tell us what the Soviets made of this mysterious figure? Was he a spy, a double-agent, a triple-agent or none of the above? Now is the time to ask.
