This was in the Washington Post this morning and comes from the release of information after 40 years.

Sigh! I was always, even as a young child, under the belief that Kent State was one of the worst things to happen as a result of the war in 'Nam. But as a older and wiser adult you have to ask the question. "If soldiers really believe that they are being fired on... then will they not shoot back."
The involvement of John Mitchell, one of the biggest snakes in Watergate, and the only United States Attorney General ever to be convicted of criminal charges makes matters so much worse. After all he was convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury so what's another bit of lying added to the pot.
Also frightening is the fact that all names of FBI interviewers and interviewees were kept out of official documents.
We may never know the whole truth of this story, but even the possibility of justification in the shootings puts a whole different spin on what we have believed to be gospel for 40 years.
