did it not say one of the agents was leaving the kitchen area after the shooting and it also pointed out that the CIA had nothing to do with protection or internal threats,thats the FBI's job.

Generally, the BBC is one of the worlds most trusted news agencies, due to its independent funding by the tv license, unlike those news agencies owned by individuals like Rupert Murdoch and his Fox network.
This report only raised the question of the presence of CIA agents at the venue before, after and during Bobby Kennedys speech. It states that Bobby was clearly assassinated by someone close behind him, yet there was no evidence of the 3 agents being that close to Bobby, at any stage. Whilst their presence may seem suspicious, it may be a case that the CIA were aware of a potential threat. As to the claim that the CIA would not assign an agent who did not like the Kennedys to investigate such suspicions, or to protect one of them; this is absurd. I have worked for the British Civil Service, and you are expected to put personal ideologies aside, and do your job professionally. CIA agents, like their British Intelligence counterparts can not cherry-pick their assignments. Many Brits do not like the way Israel behaves as a country, and would prefer not to protect Israeli Ministers, but do so, because it is their job. Earlier this year there was an outcry because an Islamic police officer was relieved from protecting the Israeli Embassy during the Lebanon invasion. This would not have been an issue for our Military Intelligence staff, just as fighting a war is not a soldiers choice.
This research raised some interesting questions about Intelligence work, but gave no new evidence regarding the assassination.
It is a great shame that Bobby Kennedy was killed, as he was the best Kennedy in politics, and would have been an excellent President, both domestically and internationally.

Interesting stuff. The CIA hated the Kennedys and sources say, although JFK took responsibility for the CIA led Bay of Pigs-he was President-that the CIA did it without either Kennedy's orders or permission. The CIA has been involved in lots of nasty stuff over the years and that's not just conspiracy theory.Those that don't realize the CIA has done bad stuff need only look at Wikipedia-it's listed right there. And the BBC is far from propaganda. It seems people should be asking how open our media is if we don't see this story in the US?

it extremely is incorrect information in step with real suggestion. A classic CIA tactic. certainly the enterprise staged a helpful Coup with the aid of there new companions, the mob. The mafia and the CIA have been given married on the corner of Houston and Elm Streets in Dallas Texas on Sept 23, 1963. The glass they stepped on substitute into JFK.

Right? The BBC. They've always been fair and balanced in their reporting, right?
