Did Kennedy come right out and say to Khruschev at their summit "I don't believe you." in front of the world press? Or did they act with some form of decorum until returning home?

The biggest thing I took away from today's summit is that Russia and the US agreed to have our intelligence officials work with Russian officials on this investigation. That's about as much as one could honestly expect from this summit and when I mean honest, I mean being honest with our own actions as well as Russias actions. If we can't do that, then we leave another century of a fucked up world for future generations.

We can't have it both ways, where we are expected to uphold NATO and yet not have other NATO members pay their share and then have them buy their natural resources from Russia.
