The main goal was Cuba, but if the Soviets were to take counter measures in Europe, the military establishment was convinced of their nuclear superiority and believed they could destroy the Soviet Union while suffering "acceptable" losses at home. I tend to subscribe to the two Oswald thesis and I think the Oswald arrested that day was pretty much in the dark about his being framed until the assassination actually happened.
Since Oswald was framed under an Operation Northwoods-like plan it doesn't make sense to keep him alive because sooner or later he's not going to like being set-up and taking the blame. I'm convinced Oswald was either given hints he was going to be exonerated or he played the "I'm a patsy who is only being arrested because I once lived in the Soviet Union" hand until he could sound-out an intel cut-out and find out where he stood. I think he was sending messages, or was instructed to send the message he wasn't being given legal assistance, in order to sabotage the case against him. LN'ers say Oswald was a dummy, but his announcing his lack of legal protection shows an intelligent mind at work, and possibly even a guided one while in the police station.
