Creative Speculation

But the point is that the CIA consistently lied about Oswald. Richard Helms testified directly to the Warren Commission that the Agency had no relationship whatsoever with Oswald. The CIA completely controlled the aspects of the Warren Commissions inquiries that touched on their turf, including whitewashing the events in Mexico City. Why would they do that if nothing was amiss?

In the 1970s during the HSCA, the CIA appointed a man named George Joannides to serve as liason with the Committee - without revealing that he was the case officer for the Cuban exile group DRE, who were directly involved with Oswald during the intrigue in New Orleans. Another CIA man was caught breaking into a safe where autopsy materials were stored. A team of investigators finally worked out the Mexico City story, but their report was classified and unavailable to the public until the mid-1990s. The CIA continues to stonewall on document releases - particularly relating to Joannides.
