Judyth Vary Baker: Living in Exile

[James H. Fetzer]

OK, Jack. I take it back and assert the opposite. You have ALWAYS
taken a keen interest in Robert Oswald (who was a dead ringer for
"Harvey" but not his biological brother) and believe he was both (a)
surprised when Lee was fingered for the assassination but (b) also
involved in framing him by "finding" the Imperial Reflex camera in
the Paine's garage. Along the way, this fine family man also took
Marina to bed and purchase a brick home he could not previously
have afforded. Now take a little time and tell me how you fit all of
these pieces together, because it seems to me that no one would
have made a better choice for impersonations of "Harvey" than he.

P.S. The so-called "hunting photo" of Lee looks completely bogus.

Why are you suggesting that I have never taken an interest in Robert
Oswald? I have always CONSIDERED HIM A KEY PLAYER. You suggest
that I have not. That is an unfair misconception.

I say that he was aware of the false defector program which his
mother had enrolled his brother into. He was aware of the training
from age 13 of an impersonator for his brother and also his mother.
As far as he knew, this was a patriotic venture of simply lending
the LHO identity to the government to infiltrate a Russian speaking
spy into the Soviet Union. NOTHING ELSE. Marguerite needed the
money, and lending her son's identity to the government likely
paid a nice monthly stipend...and it was patriotic to help the cold
war effort. NEITHER ROBERT NOR MARGUERITE DREAMED THAT IT
WOULD RESULT IN THE FALSE LHO BEING FRAMED FOR MURDER!

To say that I have never studied Robert Oswald is a misrepresentation
and unfair slur unworthy of you.
