Get the DVD of this film, turn on the commentary track while you watch - director Andrew Davis discusses how this was inspired by the JFK assassination (and other conspiracies, including the then-recent Iran Contra scandal). The Oswald character really was inspired by Oswald; Davis talks about "setting up patsies," discusses Oswald as infiltrator/provocateur. He points out how he used reporter Ike Pappas in an early scene, and how Pappas was standing next to Ruby when he shot Oswald.

n.b. I haven't actually watched this myself yet but will post some thoughts when I have done. I suspect there will be some flaws in the analysis.
“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.â€
