- Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: My father wanted to convey a message to Premier Krushchev that our family knew that the Soviets were not involved in the assassination, that it was a right-wing plot from our own country... . The day that his brother died, my father's first phone call was to the CIA desk officer at Langley, and he asked them, "Did your people conduct this horror?"
- David Talbot: Allen Dulles' appointment to the Warren Commission was one of the great frauds of American history. What really happened with Allen Dulles is that the CIA lobbied to have him put on the commission because they needed to have one of their own on the commission in order to make sure that certain doors remain closed.
- Oliver Stone: There is now so much more that we know. And with those facts in hand, we will go back and piece together what really happened that day.
- David Talbot: I think there's a direct thread between the events of 1963 and the kind of horror show that America is having to endure right now. And I think that once you kill a president in broad daylight on the streets of an American city, and everyone knows that powerful forces did it, that sends a signal not only to the American people but to the American media, to the American future leaders. And if America really wants a democratic society, then we should get to the bottom of the traumatic crime that continues to reverberate throughout American history.
