Instead of arguing with Jack about Armstrong PLEASE go to The Last Hurrah and order Harvery and Lee. As Jack has said now repeatedly you cannot just pick out a few things from Armstrong's book as proof, it is the overall evidence and it is MASSIVE. Tedious in places because of the thoroughness of his research. All the time you have wasted arging with Jack over this you could have read the book. As you know I am not a detractor of Judyth's but I must say I do have some questions based on this book. However I am aware of her recent terrible loss of her best friend and have no intention of asking these questions at the moment.
The most interesting fact about Armstrong's book as it relates to Baker's story is what is not in it, Judyth Vary Baker's story. Anyone who read his book (I bought a copy form Last Hurrah) will realize that she is not mentioned in the book. Given the amount of research that he did, one has to wonder why he does not mention her. Could it be because her story, as she writes it, is not true.

At the time he researched Oswald, as I recall, JVB had not yet
surfaced with her claims. Her name is not in a single document
relating to LHO. John ordered from the archives every document
which mentions Oswald or the Oswald family. He did not have
the archives do a search for Baker, because he did not know of
her. Later, as his book was in prepublication, her story surfaced.
He checked her claims against all his documents, and found many
of her claims spurious. He talked to her once on the phone, as
I recall, and his opinion of her I will not repeat here.
My studies convince me that THE CIA AND OTHERS were keeping
track of and/or controlling every move of LHO and his contacts and
every one seemed to be documented by the FBI or CIA. To me the
absence of any records is revealing.
