THE FUSE

Kevin Costner’s character in Oliver Stone’s epic film JFK famously responded to the intense criticism he faced for bringing the only prosecution in the case of the assassination of President John F Kennedy. The criticism he faced was not because of the credibility of his case, but because he brought the case at a time when the entire nation preferred the bliss of ignorance over the discomfort of justice and truth. He responded using those famous words, “Let justice be done though the heavens fall.”
