Did Oswald train at Camp Peary?

I used to be a believe that the mob had JFK killed, but after reading Posner I think Oswald acted alone too. The document is a fake through and through.

[dread78645]

After all, he was trained as a marksman by the USMC and there is such a thing as the 'lucky shot'.

Every Marine is a "marksman" or they don't get out of boot. And Oswald wasn't much of a marksman --or a Marine either.

The Warren Commission went at the evidence backwards, given: Oswald, Kennedy, Connelly, Tague, and three bullets.

"How can we explain how the dead perp (Oswald) fired three rounds and killed the President with two wounds, injured a Governor with three wounds and also injuring a by-stander (well outside the line of fire) with only three bullets?"

Then add in the obvious (and admitted) stonewalling by the CIA and FBI, the whole mess reeks.

JMO.

I'm always amazed at the amount of information these internal 'documents' contain.
Each one seems to give a brief biographical sketch of who, what, when, why and where even though that information may not have been requested.
No one can keep a secret, especially in such a far ranging and complex conspiracy as this purports to be. Someone would have talked by now - if they had anything to say that could be verified.
But, here's something for the conspiratorialists to chew on: Absolutley everyone connected with the Lincoln Assassination conspiracy (the only proven conspiracy)is dead. Pretty strange huh?

That is one funny doctored photo. For years that has been one of the best ones out there.

"Thank you, Dallas! Goodnight!"

A CIA spokesman at Langley headquarters outside Washington would not comment on the document, other than to suggest a reporter “steer away from it.”

That's all I need to hear. I'm outta here!

The Warren Commission's report, released 10 months after Kennedy's death, offered a clear and simple answer to the question of who killed the president: Oswald did it, alone.

And America bought that lie.

You ought to know, that rifle (bolt action) could not be fired that rapidly. Oswald was not that great a marksman.
I believe that there were three shooters; A professional
hit. Oswald was, as he said, a patsy.

After the CBS fiasco, even the dimmest forger will go out and find an era-correct typewriter.

While what you said does not piss me off

(Thank you for putting your argument out logically and not with an emotional "all conspiracy theorists are nuts")

I do have to respectfully disagree with you on Lee's training as a marksman.

Lee was at best, at best, a mediocre shot. He didn't have the skill to do the kind of shooting that would have been required that day. Lucky shot I could agree with, but what was done here was not doable by someone with his skill level.

I was a PMI (Primary Marksmanship Instructor) in the Marine Corps, and speaking from a professional point of view, it is my professional opinion that he did not have the necessary skills to pull this off.

Frankly, I don't think he ever pulled a trigger that day, but that's just an opinion not a professional one :)

Semper Fi

While I don't know about the legitimacy of the "memo" the discussion of the CIA's lack of motive is absurd.

1- JFK had the BoP operation dropped in his lap. He hardly was involved in any planning of it.

2- He or someone in the administration dropped the crucial element of air cover thereby dooming the invasion.

3- After its defeat Castro turned to the USSR even more and allowed it to put the missiles in which FORCED JFK to respond. In other words that crisis was of his own making.

4- After the operation failed Kennedy had the top leadership, including the only Director in its history, canned and threatened to destroy the Agency.

5- JFK had escalated the Vietnam war only slightly and had indicated to his chief aides his intention to withdraw after the 64 election.

6- IMMEDIATELY after his death his policies in Vietnam were diametrically reversed.

Hardly a convincing argument that the CIA and JFK were on the same page.

BTW contrary to the opinion of some on this thread Posner's book is not authoritative and has many errors which have been pointed out by others. I found it deceptive and rhetorical in far too many instances.

[Hildy]

My father wrote a book with a woman named Marita Lorenz who contended that she worked for the CIA (not disputed) where she worked with Oswald whose mission was to kill Kennedy and her mission was to kill Castro. Long story about the book, but fascinating story. BTW, she went to Cube, but fell in love with Castro, had his baby whom she contends he had murdered. Fascinating.

Thanks for the ping!

It looks like the guy in the white suit could be wearing a bullet proof vest under there.

[P_A_I]

Well put.

[Squantos]

Like such a document would have anything less than a TS or SRD level stamped on it anyway..........no doubt it sold a few papers. This is just a NOC NOC joke IMO.........:o)

[Travis McGee]

Wait for a German magazine to "find" a memo "proving" that Pope Benedict was Hitler's boy lover.

Yawn.
