JFK

Yesterday, I saw the movie JFK at cable, and I was fascinated by the story. And the summation of the Kevin Costner character, Jim Morrison, gripped me to Google for the script and grab these quotes:

What kind of “national security” do we have when we have been robbed of our leaders? Who determines our “national security”? What “national security” permits the removal of fundamental power from the hands of the American people and validates the ascendancy of invisible government in the United States? That kind of “national security,” gentlemen of the jury, is when it smells like it, feels like it, and looks like it, you call it what it is – it’s Fascism!

Someday somewhere, someone might find out the damned Truth. Or we might just build ourselves a new Government like the Declaration of Independence says we should do when the old one ain’t working – maybe a little farther out West.

Because they care, because they want to know the truth – because they want their country back, because it belongs to us the people as long as the people got the guts to fight for what they believe in! The truth is the most important value we have because if the truth does not endure, if the Government murders truth, if you cannot respect the hearts of these people, then this is no longer the country in which we were born in and this is not the country I want to die in…

I couldn’t have said it any better.

Anyway, the movie was criticized as fabrication here.
