...you are in the same position to make assumptions as I am; all I know is what I take from what I've read, same as you.
Illegal ops:
The CIA, at AG Bobby Kenndys suggestion as per JFK's wishes ran several military training camps for Cuban ex-pats to get them ready to help in the overthrow of Castro. This included all manner of weapons and explosives, training in sabotage, assassination and so forth. Garrison chased some of this down, a lead about dynamite suppossedly, and backed off, if I recall, when his patriotism was appealed to.
The CIA can not operate like that on US soil.
The CIA and FBI knew all kinds of stuff about about Oswald and kinda kept an eye on him but everything pointed to him being a loser that the Russians and the Cubans didn't want anything to do with.
If you're CIA and FBI you can't say, over a dead body, you didn't take the guy serious enough.
That's part of the Oswald profile, the 'I'll show them' need to be a big man that's suppossedly common in assassins.
At the end of the day, he had motive, opportunity and ability. There is nothing about the assassination that precludes him from having acted alone.
