I'm attending this year's COPA (Coalition on Political Assassinations) meeting in Dallas, TX, and will be video blogging the event. Last night we were supposed to have a keynote from Cynthia McKinney, but she had to cancel at the last minute.

Below is footage of opening statements by Peter Dale Scott, John Judge, RFK archivist Pat Sikora and Summer Reese, who is acting as Sirhan Sirhan's current legal representative.

The footage features a short tribute to McKinney and Phillip Melanson by Scott, a long tribute to Melanson by John Judge, an award received by Pat Sikora on behalf of the Melanson family and news about Sirhan Sirhan's current status.

Scott talked briefly about 9/11, and will give a detailed talk on 9/11 and JFK today that I will hopefully upload tonight.
