Gordon Gray Wrote:There is a line of thinking that the Secret Team wanted to scotch the Peace talks between Ike and Nikita, and since the U2 was becoming obsolete, the shoot down was fortuitous if not planned. Oswald could have well been sent to provide the info necessary. Also Marina has been helpful to Soviet interests, in giving credence to Oswald the lone nut. They certainly wanted no suspicions to be cast upon them even if they were indeed innocent.
Which would make more sense because once Oswald completed this operation he was a spent entity since he would have so much attention on him it would be hard for him to get away with anything on either side. That fits the motive and method of the shadow government and its need to prevent detente. And also its need to position itself for the pre-emptive nuclear attack on the Soviet Union it proposed to Kennedy.
Having tested the viability of a doubles program with this U-2 operation Oswald would then become highly useful in a set-up of Cuba in the assassination of JFK.
What I don't understand is why they would let Judyth Baker live if what she says is true? Other people on the Hit List were killed for much less. And Baker was allegedly invisible and therefore would be unmissed if she were murdered.
