JFK historian Farris Rookstool takes a deep dive into newly released unredacted files

Rookstool took CBS News Texas through some of them, highlighting handwritten letters as well as CIA files about Lee Harvey Oswald's foreign travels weeks before the assassination.

Rookstool said the documents prove that there was an intelligence failure.
