"We both know who is responsible"

[Scott Kaiser]

Yes, Liebeler couldn't show Walthers his own report. A real lawyer might do that, but Liebeler (I remember reading somewhere) was busy chasing Sylvia Odio and taking her out to dinner.

Phil, the part about the SS telling Marina to stay away from Ruth because she was in the CIA is probably wrong. I've got to find it again, but that's from her Feb 1968 grand jury testimony, and if you read the whole thing it looks like she's confusing the acronyms for the ACLU and the CIA.

Here it is:

Start reading around page 69. Marina says, "I had the impression...the Civil Liberties Union, I don't know...
No because she is...what is CIA?"
And Garrison didn't do anything to clear up the testimony of a Russian girl confused by American acronyms, which doesn't reflect well on him. It's one of those rare moments of weak scholarship in Douglass' book.

I still think Ruth was CIA, but this use of Marina's testimony is misleading.

what is CIA?

She's not confused, she's playing dumb. How can you have an uncle in the KGB and not know who the CIA is?
