JFK RFK MLK Assassination Forum

Except it doesn't answer the question who outmanouvered whom. You don't mean to say that Roselli completely took over the CIA, do you?
I'm interested in that rogue group in the CIA, that was willing to cooperate with that nasty guy Roselli (or the other way around).

I think I agree with Maarten. The thing is THE CIA did not exist as a perfectly coherent unit. You might say there was a 'timid' CIA, following orders from high up, and on the other hand a rogue CIA (consisting of....6--25 people???).

Dave,

Thank you for your eleborate and well read answer. I'll study the book you recommend. Thanks a lot.

my question, If it was foreseen and planned that Oswald was going to be the patsy, then why was he shot by Ruby? A patsy is a fall guy who takes the blame. Only if the patsy knows he is the fall-guy, and fully agrees to take the blame, which is not so in Oswald's case. Oswald did not want to be the ...

Wim, I did. I found quite some discussion about Files wanting to use the Fireball, but no argument on Files' prefered location, the knoll. None. But then: using the Fireball (in essence a pistol, perfect for relative short distances -- +having the chance for only one shot) = strongly related to taki...

Wim, All points taken. I inderstand them, but-- --a somewhat less bigger but---BUT-- Files doesn't refer to any discussion on that point with Nicoletti (on the edited DVD) -(paraphrasing)- Nicoletti asks: "Where would you like to position yourself" Files: "On the Knoll" Nicoletti...

My question(s): Assuming that: 1) Nicoletti was well aware of the plan to use Oswald as the "patsy", and- 2) -Nicoletti was well aware of the fact Oswald's Mannlicher Carcano + bullit shells would be planted on the sixth floor of the TSBD, so- 3) -Nicoletti would only want shots coming fro...
