since where did he get the rifle without the ID card in Hidell's name. It's a pity they did not dust the card for prints.
The other thing which still causes me to scratch my head is why go through such a convoluted way to get a rifle , which leaves a traceable path
requires forged documents , obtains such a poor quality rifle ( by which I mean Oswalds version of the gun not the Carcano in general) , introduces
a new set of variables and things that can go wrong in to the scenario , when a rifle can be obtained easily from a local source with no paper work
and no risk or trail leading back to Oswald. It's all just not simple enough for Oswald to have carried out the job on his own , buy rifle from pawn shop lean out window
and shoot Kennedy once as he turns the corner off Elm.
As we all know those "backyard photos" are totally fake. (As LHO said himself while in custody: that his head was superimposed over someone else's body. Badly at that. ) I remember at the time seeing them on the cover of Life mag and just laughing because, even at age 14 I knew that a pic of someone almost falling over while holding the "smoking guns" did not pass the laugh test. That Marina said she in fact took the pics also made sense given her dubious status in this country. She said what ever was fed to her, to keep from being deported, imho. What I have failed to understand since then is why she has (1) clearly denounced this assassination as a conspiracy yet (2) stands by her original statement about the pics. Has anyone ever asked her about this contradiction?
