Many JREFers are too young to remember Sirhan Sirhan. Sirhan Sirhan killed Robert F. Kennedy on June 5, 1968 minutes after Kennedy won the California Presidential Primary. His motive was Kennedy's support for Israel as Sirhan Sirhan was a Palestinian Arab. Well Sirhan Sirhan is up for parole.
If the California board recommends Sirhan Sirhan's release then ironically the decision of whether to free Sirhan will fall to Arnold Schwarzenegger, who happens to be married to Robert F. Kennedy's neice. What a bizzare twist of fate.
I don't think Arnold will free Sirhan Sirhan if the parole board recommends parole.
(On a side note Arafat took U.S. Ambassador Cleo Allen Noel, Jr. and Chargé d'Affaires George Curtis Moore hostage at the Sudan embassy in 1973 to "negotiate" the release of Sirhan Sirhan... and when Nixon refused the Palestinian terrorists murdered U.S. Ambassador Cleo Allen Noel Jr. and George Curtis Moore)
