Dallas DA: Jack Ruby docs 'too important to keep secret'

Raw Story

The Dallas County District Attorney's Office has announced the discovery of a trove of documents relating to the assassination of John Kennedy.

Among the documents is an alleged transcript of a conversation between Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby, planning the assassination together on behalf of the Mafia. This document has aroused the greatest amount of interest but has also been described as "highly suspect."

Dallas District Attorney Craig Watkins explained at a news conference on Monday morning that the documents were found in a safe about a year ago -- soon after he took office -- and that his staff have been examining and cataloging them ever since. Previous DA's had decided not to reveal the information, but Watkins said his administration is devoted to openness and felt it was "too important to keep secret."

"It will open up the debate as to whether there was a conspiracy to assassinate the president," Watkins stated.

I have always felt there was a conspiracy. My curiosity about this will not die until I do, but I hope the truth comes out - officially - before then.
