(55,476 posts)The "three Oswalds" could have been identity theives - - they did exist back then. Or they could have been KGB.
As per returning to the US without being spoken to by the FBI - most likely he was spoken to and it was classified, as were most of these kinds of things back then.
My guess is the USSR wanted him out because he was mentally ill, and the FBI didn't see him as a threat because they thought he was mentally ill.
What got me to believe the Warren Report was all the work he did for/about Cuba. He was playing both sides - something he was trying to do when first caught.
Now Oswald was very intelligent - and one of the best shooters in the Marines. You can be intelligent AND insane. John Nash comes to mind.
And in the end, it was his intelligence which I believe was his undoing - he had convinced himself that he could start a revolution by killing the President, and making it look like it was the government that did it.
All of the KGB files on Oswald have become public, and they pretty much summed Oswald up as a nut.
Also - it is very possible that Oswald's wife was mentally ill as well. This was probably the real reason the two were set up on dates.
