 From the 1/11/1964 New York Times, "Oswald's Widow Rebuffs Liberties Union"

DALLAS, Jan. 10—Mrs. Lee H. Oswald has written to the Dallas Civil Liberties Union that she is satisfied with her seclusion and with the protection of the Secret Service.

The letter was in response to a question by the Dallas Civil Liberties Union about Marina's situation.

Marina went on: "Let me thank you," the note began, "for the attention you are giving me. I don't think you have anything to worry about. What you read in the newspapers — everything is correct. I don't object to the Secret Service guarding me. I am only grateful for their time."

"I am free to go where I want and see whom I please. I myself don't want to see anybody to remind me of what has happened. I hope you understand."

Marina testified to the HSCA and gave the same basic account as she did to the WC. So was she "coerced" then too?

She became a US citizen in 1989 and is still alive. She can expose this "coercion" at any time. But she hasn't. Yes, she changed her mind about the guilt of Oswald. But to my knowledge she's never retracted any of her account given to the WC or HSCA or stated that she was "coerced".

Can you explain why it is necessary to live fire the rifle every time you practice with the rifle? It seems to be a deciding factor to you in whether someone is practicing or not.

You have repeatedly demonstrated having no relevant knowledge concerning firearms. Maybe only post on the subjects you have knowledge concerning.

Oh... so you're you're an expert,, are you Jack?

You profess to be an expert, Jack    So maybe you can enlighten us with your answer to the question....

Clearly you believe that a person is "practicing to become proficient with a rifle" if that person is merely going through the motions of firing a rifle.....

Can you prove there was a third shot?  LHO never fired three shots in 5 seconds. He is being credited with doing something he never accomplished.
Three empty cartridge cases were allegedly found by the so called snipers window. What does that prove? You tell me.
Ironically, to the extent that she might ever have been deemed to be dishonest it was in an effort to protect Oswald not to implicate him in the assassination.
Duh...Oswald was dead. He did not need protection --she did.

Go watch some youtube gun posts and if you see a video where someone is 'dry-firing' or pointing a gun and yelling BANG... link it and put it up for us.

Do you have any guns? If so what kind.. and do you dry-fire them or live fire them? Both? Neither?

So what? She didn't have to.

Okay: That three empty cartridge cases were allegedly found by the so called snipers window.

I'll assume that you have used the word "allegedly" because there is good reason to doubt that there were THREE shells there when Mooney first discovered the shells....  And yes, I know that it is widely accepted that there were THREE shells there, but there is also evidence that indicates there were only TWO spent shells....And all of the documents that originated in the TSBD that afternoon state that there were TWO spent shells found.

Assume what you must if it helps you get to wherever you're aiming.
And note that I quoted Freeman verbatim. He couched the question like that, not in a way that takes a conflicting position.

And call me whatever you want. I don't mind.
