I was wondering if Nosenko might have been a hot potato sent over here by KGB in order to foment discord over the Assassination?
While Nosenko's defection might have been a victory for the west on the surface, his knowledge of Oswald would serve as a problem to the cover-up that would work as a silent disrupter by causing those involved in the cover-up to react to Nosenko in a way that would instigate doubt. By just coming over here and causing Angleton to put him in a torture vault he would bring doubt down on the cover-up and cause it problems. Perhaps KGB thought Nosenko would be a hot potato serving the purposes of those who doubted the Warren Commission and just by being here would serve as a catalyst and source of momentum for those working to expose the US government.
If I have this right Angleton tortured Nosenko in order to press him to admit Oswald was a KGB operative. Nosenko refused to do it and eventually said KGB determined Oswald was a nebbish and was mentally unstable and of no consequence to them. By doing this Nosenko would very subtly serve the purpose of going against the Mexico City Kostikov ruse. So, once again, while offering something that appears to back the Lone Nut premise, Nosenko is actually offering something that will work against the cover-up in the long term and foment discord at the deep level.
So while appearing to be a victory for the west, the Nosenko defection could actually be a shrewd KGB attempt to destabilize the US government by sending a hot potato in to disrupt the cover-up. I believe Angelton's actions towards Nosenko may reveal his awareness of this and need to contain it.
