Most of the "evidence" repeated today was early postulations that turned out not to be true. The parrafin test, e.g., which Curry said "I understand to be positive," when the final report was that he did not fire a rifle that day.
Oswald was an intelligence pawn, sent to the Soviet Union by Naval Intelligence and CIA, which is why he got a quickie discharge from the Marine Corp and left within a week or so for the Soviet Union. He was part of a fake-defector program. Read Oswald and the CIA by John Newman. There are lots of genuinely great expositive books on the assassination, but only the Bugliosis, Posners and Russos are hyped so they can hoot at serious students and researchers of the events of 11-22-63.
Also, read "JFK and the Unspeakable" and then tell me that JFK was responsible for the death of Diem. I guarantee, anyone who reads that book will get an education. A education with massive footnotes that are just as interesting as the text.
