Among the most puzzling aspects of the assassination is the strange career of Lee Harvey Oswald. After defecting to the Soviet Union, betraying radar secrets, and attempting to renounce his American citizenship, Oswald had no trouble reentering the U.S. or obtaining a new passport. Welcomed back to the country by prominent members of the intelligence community in New York and by wealthy anti-communist Russian emigres in Dallas, Oswald then surfaced in New Orleans as the secretary of a pro-Castro organization called the Fair Play for Cuba Committee.

...fact, contend Canfield and Weberman, Oswald himself was a CIA agent. Trained as a marine on the Japanese base where the American U-2s were kept, Oswald defected for intelligence purposes, as the Russians themselves apparently suspected since they were reluctant to grant him a visa despite his "radar secrets."

Callahan, James B. Adams and Eugene W. Walsh. The continuing FBI investigation is especially sensitive because these men now hold three of the bureau's five top jobs. Many agents, in fact, believe that the trio actually runs the FBI−with a little behind-the-scenes counsel from Mohr...
