Editing Allen Dulles (section)

==Later life==
Later, after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, on November 22, 1963, President [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] appointed Dulles as one of seven commissioners of the [[Warren Commission]] to investigate the [[John F. Kennedy assassination|assassination of the U.S. President John F. Kennedy]]. Some historians later criticized the appointment, noting that Kennedy fired him. Therefore, he was unlikely to be impartial in passing the judgments charged to the Warren Commission. In the view of journalist and author [[Stephen Kinzer]], Johnson appointed Dulles primarily so that Dulles could "coach" the Commission on how to interview CIA witnesses and what questions to ask because Johnson and Dulles were both anxious to ensure that the Commission did not discover Kennedy's secret involvement in the administration's illegal plans to assassinate Castro and other foreign leaders.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/latenightlive/the-dulles-brothers-and-their-secret-wars/5141016 |title=The Dulles brothers and their secret wars |work=Radio National |date=December 6, 2013 |access-date=November 5, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/10/jfk-assassination-john-mccone-warren-commission-cia-213197 |title=Yes, the CIA Director Was Part of the JFK Assassination Cover-Up |first=Philip |last=Shenon |website=[[Politico]] |date=October 6, 2015 |access-date=April 4, 2022}}</ref> [[Robert F.
