Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

When was the phony bus ride conceived? Oswald was arrested at 1:45 and reached the DPD at 2:00. He wasn't interviewed until 3:15. Presumably, they didn't know what he was going to tell them about how he traveled. But, at 4:05, they were showing the bus transfer ticket to reporters and talking about the bus ride. So, at what time did they get the idea that they should concoct a phony story about how he left Dealey Plaza? Didn't they have to start planning it far in advance? How did they know that the Marsalis bus or any bus could get him to Oak Hill in time for the Tippit killing? And what if somebody came forward who saw Oswald in the course of his actual movement from Dealey Plaza to the Theater? It would have contradicted what they were saying, and it might have been iron-clad. 

What I am looking for here is a time, At what hour on what day did the first inkling of the idea to fabricate a phony bus ride for Oswald occur? I should think that it would have to have been well before the assassination. This was no trivial thing that they were doing. This was a whole separate and distinct conspiracy within the conspiracy, and it was fraught with risk and danger- to them. That's because if word got out that police fabricated a phony story with phony evidence about Oswald's travels, it would have meant automatic acquittal. Hey, when police commit crimes, when they lie, when they are corrupt, and it comes out, the defendant usually gets off. O.J. Simpson got off at the mere suspicion of the mishandling of the blood evidence and because Mark Fuhrman used the N word. 

So, this was a BIG decision to do so; it put everything in jeopardy. So, who made it? Henry Wade? By what authority? He was the DA of Dallas but he wasn't running the assassination of President Kennedy. Do you really think that he would have wanted the responsibility of taking the plot in that direction? And if you think that he did it, when did he do it? Because it doesn't sound like he had enough time to even analyze the idea, never mind put it into action. 

But, the biggest question is: if the conspirators thought it was such a terrible idea for their lone assassin to escape Dealey Plaza in a getaway car, why the hell did they let him do it? Don't you think they could have stopped it? Don't you think they were controlling Oswald and managing him? If they thought it would be better for him to use public transportation, then why didn't they see to it that he did that?
