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

To this day, there are people who claim that in this photo, Oswald was giving the Communist gesture of defiance. He was not. He was just showing reporters in the hall that his hands were cuffed. And now, I have a reference for it: John G. McCullough, a Philadelphia reporter, who said: "At one time, in the corridor, he held his hands high so that the handcuffs he was wearing would be seen on camera."
