Any CIA disinformation agents here?

[Jake Maxwell]

I'm not sure anyone in the US government is concerned about the lives of people in Russia or Cuba who might have been connected to Oswald or JFK's assassination in any way.

The most likely concern to explain all the secrecy is to protect the reputation of prominent families here, or the reputation of the agencies who pulled off a coup and pinned it on Oswald.

When the top law enforcement official dictates a memo THE DAY AFTER the assassination, that says:

(On November 23, 1963) "The thing I am concerned about, and so is Mr. Katzenbach, is having something issued so we can convince the public that Oswald is the real assassin." - J. Edgar Hoover

THE DAY AFTER!

If that doesn't concern you... Whew!... I'm not sure any rational conversation about this can be productive... and I wouldn't suspect you to accept a conspiracy at the top level if MORE evidence is produced to implicate the guilty parties.

Did I say, THE DAY AFTER!?

Yes, THE DAY AFTER!

Hoover had no concern to discover the truth of the matter. A rush to judgment and a rush to pin it all on Oswald.
If that doesn't concern you and make you want to investigate Hoover and others at the top level of government, you have little or no concern for truth and justice... and no concern for the principle of "innocent, until proven guilty."

There's your evidence of conspiracy, if you choose to accept it.

The US is not interested in the lives of intelligence sources who aided them?  I doubt that would give much confidence to anyone who is thinking about providing the US with information in the future when they find out the policy is to reveal their names at some point.  There were legitimate reasons to convince the public that Oswald was guilty.  First and foremost, because he WAS guilty.  He did it.  The evidence leaves no doubt.  Second, you would not WWIII to break out because some paranoid conspiracy theorists convinced the public that Russia or Cuba was involved when they were not.  Those are very legitimate and compelling reasons.
