I think the CIA would have been OK with continuing the Oswald/Castro connection. These operations are compartmentalized and none of the major players would have been compromised. They probably were pretty confident they could characterize Oswald as a nutand a lying Commie and what ever claims he might have made would have been discounted. Also they had a good grip on the press.
No way. CIA (those who were involved) was deathly afraid of Oswald being a loose cannon. They had to put pressure on Ruby for a suicide attack. The means by which they did that would be a very interesting x-ray of the structure of the cabal if you could find out about it. I just can't imagine Oswald being allowed to live because his head contained a full list of names that would lead to compartment interfaces that would be undeniable. I mean we already have a pretty good idea of those contacts even with Oswald dead. I'm beginning to believe the Oswald crisis created a situation where the plot went from smoothly-flowing to fighting for survival on the behalf of the plotters and that Plan B was then an accepted compromise after they realized they came that close to blowing it. Some Deep Politics commentors might even add Oswald's not being killed right away was deliberately done in order to induce the more profitable, Kennedy-less long term solution. It didn't matter to the sponsors whether the Cold War front against the communists was in Cuba or VietNam.
