What an interesting read. I'm gonna have to find that book.
What is most fascinating to me is that the author, despite a well reasoned argument, seems to have failed to follow up on a critical fact. I suppose it is because the author is plainly pro-right and apparently was a 6 year associate of General Walker, having "never known [Walker] to lie". Walker told the author of that quote that he knew that Lee Harvey Oswald had been detained (for three hours) in connection with the attempt on Walker's life, within minutes of that event (the detention was allegedly within minutes, not Walker's acquisition of the knowledge).
How and when Walker came by that nugget of information seems to be a vital clue. If Walker had that bit of information prior to Dec. 3rd, 1963 (when the Walker attempt was publicly linked to Oswald), then that knowledge suggests a) insider contact within Dallas law enforcement, and b) a motive to have Oswald framed or killed. If Walker had that knowledge prior to Nov. 22, 1963, he must be seriously considered a supect in JFK's death. Or perhaps Walker was lying, after all.
Alas, the author does not elaborate on Walker's statement in that quote.
