Let's have a poll on JFK

129. None of which explains RFK's silence.

After the Bay of Pigs fiasco (after which JFK fired Dulles), JFK sent RFK into the very bowels of the CIA to figure out what went wrong. RFK came away very impressed with the CIA's capabilities, especially regarding psy-ops, disinformation, and assassinations. RFK was looking over the CIA.s shoulder, urging them along in the assassination attempts on Castro, and disinformation campaign against his government. Dulles was already gone...RFK was for all intensive purposes micro-managing the campaign. In the 1962-63 period, RFK had an insider's knowledge of the inner workings of the CIA. It is reasonable to assume he kept JFK abreast of everything going on. Dulles was no longer in the CIA, it is doubtful he was a participent in a conspiracy when he was. After he was fired, he wasn't present at the CIA to organize a conspiracy, and RFK was there constantly. Dulles wouldn't have been allowed in the door. IMO, on the WC Dulles was merely making sure none of the crimes committed during his tenure, for which he was directly responsible, were not revealed. There is no reason to believe he would cover up crimes committed by the CIA after he left, when RFK was deeply involved. The opposite, in fact.
