stoned, we're in truble. >> yeah. i agree with you,david. and i agree with elizabeth. also, i agree with my good friend john. we go way overboard in our society prosecuting people of small amounts of drugs, but that's not the issue. the laws are on the books whether you like them or not. and public officials should be held to a higher standard. that almost seems impossible right now, but the very pillars of the civil society depend on such. >> sabrina, when you're a public servant, you're supposed to be on duty 24/7, right? >> you are. and i love the idea of this, but corruption and scandal is as old as itself. we all know the fable, the scorpion will sting no matter what he promises the frog. the bigger question is, why can't we attract more people to public office? trying to root them out is a waste of all of our time. we have to look for better people to run for office. >> i have to get you to be specific on this, sabrina, should we fire them? >> i tend to think let's let the people fire them at the next election. >> next election. rick, what do you think? >> fst of all, i'm actually with you on what you

john f. kennedy was supposed to give that day in dallas, november 22nd, 1963. words left unspoken but chiselled in stoneever. you know, it is amazing, a friend of mine who i used to work with was at the trademark waiting for president kennedy to give that speech, and i remember a story he told me, that it was eerie to watch as he stood there and watched the motorcade race by on the interstate going 70, 80 miles per hour on its way to parkland hospital, kennedy's life ending in that limousine as they raced to the hospital, trying to save his life. so many people here in the city of dallas who will never forget that day. one person who was not mentioned at all today was officer j.d. tippett, the dallas police officer gunned down shortly after the assassination by lee harvey oswald. his family will have a candlelight vigil tonight in his honor just south of downtown dallas, where he was gunned down 50 years ago as well. wolf? >> we'll have a lot more later in "the situation room" on this important day. ed, thanks very much. >>> let's go to geneva right now. important talks involving iran's nuclear program.

stepping stone designed to lead to a more comprehensive deal with the goal of dismantling iran's nuclear program. president obama and netanyahu did speak on friday and secretary of state john kerry is talking with israeli leaders. here in jerusalem there's very little trust and support in washington. there's a real fear that the agreement would simply not stop iran's nuclear program. now, israel continues to hint that if the agreement is reached that they are not satisfied with that they would take military action against iran. but eric, here in jerusalem and really across the region, there are doubts whether or not israel could strike iran and end its nuclear program by itself without u.s. support. it's really doubted but still israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and other leaders in israel insist they would take military action without the u.s. if a bad agreement is reached. eric. >> conner, despite the talks will resume in 10 days. certainly we'll see how israel and others feel about that. live in jerusalem, thank you. >>> the breakdown of talks shows how hard it can be to forge a deal on iran's nuclear program despite the appearances an agreement was close at han

getting-- he speaks in sicilian-- getting the "stone out of my shoe" and talking about getting a "nut" to kill not bobby kennedy, who was his nemesis, but john kennedy, who was the man behind the nemesis. >> narrator: marcello returned to new orleans to fight the deportation order. his attorneys hired both guy banister and david ferrie as investigators in the case. for robert blakey, who believes the mafia was involved in the kennedy assassination, this is the critical link. >> when you find david ferrie, who is an investigator for carlos marcello, being a boyhood friend to lee harvey oswald and with him that summer and with carlos marcello at that very point in time, you have an immediate connection between a man who had the motive, opportunity and means to kill kennedy and the man who killed kennedy. >> the shame of this thing is that the whole question of oswald's activity in new orleans was never properly investigated by officialdom at the beginning. guy banister, the former fbi agent at 544 camp street, was never, ever asked by anybody about lee harvey oswald. david ferrie was questioned, but the investigation was dropped very quickly a

indeed, i think kennedy is so iconic and oliver stone made him iconic in many ways as well, that this will go on, our children and grandchildren will know about johns become fairytale already. >> we've learned many ugly things about the kenly presidency in the years since and as your poll shows it still doesn't affect his standing with the american public. >> i think that's about extension of the symbol to the rest of society, that if somebody remains just a man or just a woman, eventually they're going to get torn down because they're human and there's fallibility and we see it in him and us and everybody else. he represents where we were as a country after that. in reading your book, now that i had a chance to get through it, i felt one of the warren commission was a problem they wound up playing politics in a situation that really didn't benefit from it and so much of the speculation that came out of the lack of an answer is because people were covering for themselves during the commission itself. did you find that? >> absolutely. you also have the kennedy family campaigning to preserve a golden memory of the president and that meant some evide
