I'm very curious: Where would LHO's "I'm just a patsy!" public plea fit into your extraordinary rendition -- sorry -- of events?
Elementary my dear Drago. Oswald knows only one role. That of New Orleans Fair Play For Cuba Committee agitator and agent provocateur. He is simply maintaining that role in the Dallas Police station, which means he really is Garrison's hero and patriot and really would have gone all the way and taken the rap without blowing his cover. Little did he know the men he was being loyal to and trusted were in the process of betraying him and planning his murder.
I disagree with this. It overlooks another absolutely crucial piece of evidence. The one that I believe necessitated Ruby killing Oswald.
Ruby could have killed Oswald prior to that morning. He did not. Why?
Because I think they were waiting to find out what Oswald would do while under questioning and in his press conferences. Its quite clear that he has no idea he was being framed for JFK' s murder from his reaction to the news that he is being charged with it. This clearly stuns him.
When Oswald tried to make the call to John Hurt, as Victor Marchetti said, he signed his death warrant. The next morning he was killed. It was a really tragic and terrible error on his part. He wanted to know what was going on, what did they want him to say, what was going to be his defense? That was too much.
I really wish Stone has put this in his film.
