In reply to the discussion: will Tom Brokaw ask George HW Bush where he was on 11/22/63? [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)23. I read the OP and the question was, would they ask Bush Sr. where he was that day since
that was the premise of the program, it is a good question.
The answer is 'no', they did not ask him.
When he WAS asked, in the past, before the release of documents that help answer the question, he appeared to have amnesia about where he was on a day when even those who were 5 years old at the time, remember.
If we had a free, rather than a corporate media, the odd loss of memory of one person as opposed to the vivid memories of even those who were children at the time would have been noted, and then cleared up when those documents were released.
But then if we had a free press his son could not have lied this country into a disastrous war.

He wasn't born a decrepit old man. His memory of where he was that day has probably improved

I don't know of any young man, which Bush Sr was at the time, who had such a massive case of amnesia

I see. Your theory is that if someone can escape justice by surviving to be old enough, they get
