All new information made public since 1989 has only tended to support the conclusions in Crossfire. The ‘Smoking Gun’ is the Gerald Ford memo to the authors of the Warren Commission report ordering them to change the wording from “Kennedy was shot in the back” to “Kennedy was shot through the neck”. This small but critical change of wording has allowed them to argue that cockamamie single bullet theory which, of course, is the sole basis for the single assassin theory.

There is nothing there that really jumps out, but when I read through Wean's explanation, as provided by 'John' it didn't really gel.
I just I don't buy the story that Oswald was 'in on' a fake assassination attempt.
Personally I have never come across a satisfactory answer as to why I self-confessed marxist like Oswald would consort with someone like de Mohrenschildt.
Incidently, I did watch the films you posted on your wildly popular thread. I didn't see anything noteworthy though, I couldn't see into the windows.
Do you know who it was that ordered that the Secret Service escort stand down?

Remember that the Northwoods document were written around that time. So to me, a fake assassination with Castro blamed for the act is not so far fetched.

Also, Wade Frazier mentions that a nitrate test was taken on Oswald cheek, and was negative, meaning he hadn't fired a weapon on that day. (did Mae mention this?) So, I personally doubt that Oswald was even in the snippers' nest.

Interestingly enough, Rike said there had been four or so hoax calls to that same location in the two week preceding the assassination. He speculated that someone was timing the arrival of an ambulance and that the ambulance might have provided a diversion to distract anyone from seeing assassins move into position.

As a paid government intelligence agent, he assumed he would be given protection by his employers. He also felt no guilt because, based on the best hard evidence, he had not shot anyone. When arrested, he continually pled for legal assistance, even trying to contact an attorney who was known for defending government whistleblowers.

Since there reportedly were no notes taken or recordings of Oswald’s statements while in custody we may never know

The Secial agent who orders the stand down is EMERY ROBERTS..i wrote a thread on it months ago titled "with friends like this.."
Cover-up number three: The April 22, 1964 reports from Agents Behn, Boring, Ready, Hill, and Emory Roberts, alleging, after-the-fact, that President Kennedy had ordered agents off the rear of the limousine on November 18, 1963 in Tampa, and in other cities.23 It has to be stated again, and with some new corroboration to boot: JFK never ordered the agents to do anything, let alone telling the men to get off the rear of the limousine (or to take off the bubbletop, reduce the number of motorcycles, etc.). Agents Behn and Boring totally refuted their own (alleged) reports in conversations with me, while agents Kinney, Youngblood, Bouck, Noris, Bolden, Lilly, Martineau, plus two recently-interviewed agents, Don Lawton and Art Godfrey, confirmed the fact that JFK never ordered the agents
