One would assume that an incident that involved the assassination of the president of a nation would be presented to the public as quickly and genuinely as possible. Unfortunately, this is not the case for our country as according to bostonglobe.com, “documents, which could amount to tens of thousands of pages, are just some of the collections that government archivists acknowledge have still not been released a half-century after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.” This leads to one to question what the motives are for the government to regulate more OR less of information to the public and if the murder of the nation’s 35th president was the work of a lone assassin or a conspiracy to cover the tracks of evidence.
The article states on behalf of the National Archives and Records Administration that some 1,100 distinct documents that (federal judge in Minnesota) Tunheim and his team did not have access to remains shielded from public view. Even for such a well established judge with a high ranking role who chaired the Assassination Records Review Board, the truth has not been easy to come by. This creates reason for our country to have trust issues when the government cannot even clear to the public information that regards the death of a great president. They may feel that they are allegedly protecting us from whatever it is that may be threatening, but in doing so they also sacrifice the idea of a nation being one between the government and the people.
There are alleged reasons for people to think that Oswald did not conduct the assassination on his own says the article. “But there are several categories of files that...focus a plot that most Americans believe involved more than Oswald acting alone” it states. With his previous military experience, military officials also stated that Oswald was incapable of committing the assassination on his own. With all of this said and with evidence against just a single man murder, the government still has never made any of it public as to what really happened. As I have said before, there is something wrong with the government not being straight forward with important and truthful information. Even if it is not in their best interest to publicize sensitive files, it should stand as the people's’ decision if they would like to learn of them in order for the government to truly gain our trust.
