Guest ShamRock Report post Posted January 2, 2004 A couple of weeks ago on the 40th anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy, Oliver Stone's "JFK" came on HBO. I told my friend about it and recorded it for him. He told me he hates Kennedy because he was involved in the murder of President Diem. My friend's Vietnamese so that's why he feels that way. Is it true though that JFK was involved? If so, how? BTW, the film was fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tommytomlin 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2004 JFK supported the coup that removed Diem from power but was very much opposed to his murder. General Maxwell Taylor said that when JFK learned of Diem's death he leapt to his feet and rushed from the room, and a Senator whose name I can't recall said JFK was so angry he wanted to strip CIA of it's power to commit such acts. So yeah, he shagged Marilyn Monroe but he didn't approve of Diem's assassination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
