Amazing speech by JFK about national secrecy, and the roll of the press. Very initeresting stuff.

I'm telling you that shot came from the front and.... oh wrong thread, sorry!

Seriously, though. I'm going to read this column when I get home. Too long to read here at work.

Its really really long, but sometimes things can't be explained in a 10 second soundbite, or spun into a clever talking point.

Enjoy the read!

Why can't we have leadership with these kind of balls anymore?

Kennedy was such an eloquent speaker.
Bill Clinton had nothing on him.

Kennedy kept referring to a "monolythic" power or element that was out to oppose us. He never really identified it so I guess he was talking about communism? Or was he talking about the Republicans?
In any case it looks like the media did not heed his words.
