Oswald and Oliver Stone's "JFK" [View All]

[spooked911]

The movie paints a pretty clear picture of a conspiracy, and that Oswald was an intel agent and patsy.

Of course there are detractors. I'm sure there are people here who think the movie is total bull. Here, I would like to focus on Oswald and I would like to know specific things that the movie got wrong about Oswald. I don't want to get into physical evidence of the shots. I want to discuss Oswald as a creature of the intel agencies.

Even the official story of Oswald is darn strange:

this is guy is very suspicious, to say the least:

but the movie pulls out a lot more than what is in wikipedia.

Back to Stone's "JFK"-- according to wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JFK_movie
Vincent Bugliosi was a big critic of the movie.

In this article, http://hnn.us/articles/41490.html
Bugliosi says he has 53 reasons why Oswald is the assassin, then he lists 5 reasons-- presumably he thinks these are good reasons:

"Oswald’s Mannlicher-Carcano rifle was the murder weapon. That’s pretty heavy by itself. Oswald was the only employee at the Book Depository Building who fled the building after the assassination. Forty-five minutes later, he shoots and kills Officer J. D. Tippit, Dallas Police Department. That murder bore the signature of a man in desperate flight from some awful deed. Thirty minutes later at a Texas theatre he resists arrest, pulls a gun on the arresting officer. During his interrogation, told one provable lie after another, showing a consciousness of guilt."

Seriously? Only one semi-direct piece of evidence-- the rifle? And even that could have been easily framed. The other pieces of evidence are very circumstantial, and can be explained in other ways.

Was Oswald involved in the assassination in some way? Almost certainly. But did he act alone? That is the key question. There seems to be plenty of involvement of Oswald with intel-connected shady characters. What I would like to know if the movie has any facts wrong about Oswald's connection to David Ferrie, his bizarre movements from Russia and back, the strange response of the US govt, the timing of the U2 shootdown, and so forth.
