In reply to the discussion: will Tom Brokaw ask George HW Bush where he was on 11/22/63? [View all]Mother Muckraker
(116 posts)30. Book: Family of Secrets - GH Bush not remembering where he was during JFK assassination, etc....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_of_Secrets
Baker lays out the origin of the CIA that included the Bush family along with their friends and business associates. He documents evidence that the political successes of the Bush family were tied to these interests. At 577 pages and more than 1000 footnotes, the research that led to the book includes more than 500 interviews, thousands of documents, and a personal library of about 500 Bush-related books.
Baker says[1] that an initial impetus for this research was George H.W. Bush's remarkable claim that he does not remember where he was on the day of the John F. Kennedy assassination. The book documents that he was in Dallas the day before, and in the nearby town of Tyler, Texas the day of that event,[2] and brings to light his associations and correspondence with individuals involved in various ways with Lee Harvey Oswald, such as George de Mohrenschildt.[3] It documents the struggle between President Nixon and intelligence and military agencies prior to the Watergate scandal, and adduces evidence that the Watergate burglary and other actions ascribed to Nixon were in fact perpetrated by operatives assigned to compromise the President so that he would be removed from office.[4] The book also documents covert aspects of the relationship between the United States and the Saudi royal family, and how the Bush family and their circle benefit from this relationship

Iow, Bush Sr. lied. No tinfoil needed. It's not a theory, it's a fact, a proven fact.

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