When the CIA photo-alterers first saw the Altgens photo, two things jumped out at them. The first was Oswald in the doorway, and on the left is how he looked On the right is what they did to him, plopping in the top of Young Lovelady’s head. On the left, I also restored his left shoulder, which was overlain with the guy they put in next to him to cover up the unique construction of his Russian shirt. And they put in the black guy beneath him to cover up his distinctive stance, clasping his hands together in front of his body, left over right. So, neither one of those guys was there. There was a black man at the bottom level next to the column, but he was not captured by Altgens’ camera due to the parallax effect of Altgens’ angle. The black man’s name was Carl Jones, and that picture of him was taken by Congressman Phil Willis about 3 pm when employes were allowed to leave.
But, the big question is: why, when they saw Oswald in the doorway, did they not destroy the photo? That would have been so easy, and it would have been the smart thing to do. They could have just told Altgens that “for national security reasons” they had to destroy the photo. He would not have cared or complained. He was a team player. And it wasn’t going to affect his pay. No one else knew about it, so no one was going to miss it. But, they were filled with arrogance. They were drunk with it.
