Maybe you’ve all seen this before, but I hadn’t. It’s an interview with RFK assassin Sirhan Sirhan that David Frost conducted before the murderer’s sixth parole hearing. (He’s now been denied 14 times.) Alistair Cooke, who was in the main ballroom of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles when the assassination was committed, provides the introduction. I normally have a problem with murderers being interviewed on-screen–were televised Charles Manson Q&A’s beneficial to humanity in any way?–but I can understand if it’s a political assassin. I would certainly take a look if there was video of John Wilkes Booth trying to explain himself.
