Edgar denied the very existence of an organised group of "wise guys" until compelled by RFK to act.<br /> The Kennedys are gone, the criminals remain.<br /> Many moons ago, Ramsey Clark in his book, "Crime in America" made the clear case that organised crime is not possible without a corrupt legal system, including the police, the courts and business.<br /> None of this is new, it is another case of willful ignorance on the part of the majority of citizens who, perhaps bowing to the inevitable, see that "there ain't nothing you can do about it".<br /> From Sacco-Vanzetti to 9-11, the criminal actions of the "leaders" is there to be seen to any who might look.<br /> The solution is in an informed and literate populace, though how this might be achieved in an age of Orwellian double speak and the destruction of critical thinking by a fear driven media is beyond my imagination.<br /> Good article, Thanks<br /> Don SmithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
