米国立公文書館が１０月２６日、１９６３年のケネディ大統領暗殺
米国メディアのUSA Todayが今回公開された文書のハイライトを掲載していますので、その中の一つを抜粋して解説を行いたいと思います。
1963: Secret Service lists surveillance targets
There’s a 413-page document that details everyone that Secret Service was watching between March and December 1963, including Puerto Rican nationals, Klansmen and others. Each had a description of why they were angry at the president and their threat level. The document is a window into how Secret Service viewed potential threats.
Another Secret Service document notes more than 400 people the agency suspected might want to harm the president. One Puerto Rican nationalist interviewed in a Veterans Administration hospital praised Kennedy’s killer Lee Harvey Oswald for thinking big (1). “Diagnosed schizophrenic paranoid,” the Secret Service notes said. “Considered dangerous by doctor.”
