Did Oswald Go To Mexico City?

[Thomas Graves]

You quoted me on a post addressed to Jerry. Now, back to your reply. You posted "Did they torture Eusebio Azcue, too?" IMO, since it can't be proved that neither Azcue or Duran were tortured you are now resorting to accusing me of misrepresenting what it's pretty clear. Now it's "Duran may have been tortured". As to Silvia Duran's description of Oswald it's entirely possible that cultural bias may have played a part in her description of Oswald as blond. To a Latin (and I know this because I'm Latin) sometimes a person may be referred to as "Rubio", Spanish for blond, because the hair is lighter than normal. I know this from personal experience because my knickname since I was a kid is "Rubio" and my hair was light to medium brown (it's now peppered with a lot of gray). As for Duran's description of Oswald as being short that's a personal view and not necessarily one that would be shared by others. What's short to Duran might be medium height to another person. It's possible, and here I'm going out on a limb, that the young, black haired beauty liked taller men and for her a guy whom she might find unappealing she'll describe as being short. Hey, I can also indulge in speculation too, right!

Dear Oscar,

Regarding Duran's "Oswald''s" hair color, I find it hard to believe that her description of it as "blond" was just a case of "cultural bias" for two simple reasons:

1) Duran testified in English to the HSCA, and she spoke English quite well.

2) Eusebio Azcue described "Oswald" as having "blond, or dark-blond" hair.

If their "Oswald" had had medium-brown hair like Lee Harvey Oswald, would Azcue have described him as "blond, or medium-blond"?

Was Azcue suffering from "cultural bias," too? Do you really think he was trying to say the dude had light-brown to medium-brown hair?

Duran has been interviewed by numerous reporters/journalists and, to my knowledge, she's made the same claims she did in her HSCA testimony. She's still living and, again to my knowledge, some fifty years later stands by her account of meeting Oswald.

Besides, nobody is solely accepting her account. There's a great deal of corroborating evidence, physical, eyewitness and circumstantial, to her story.

"Torchered"! What the heck happened to spell check?  But it get's in the way of a good conspiracy theory.

Are you implying that Silvia Duran was torchered? If so, were's the evidence!!!

Torchered? Is that when someone puts a torch up to somebody's Xxx-xxx
"Were's the evidence!!" ....Where is the evidence? [there I fixed it for you]
Really Oscar...slow down Bud and get a grip

Sylvia was mistreated at the hands of Mexican authorities, and was bruised during her interrogation. The police asked if she had paid Oswald money, had a sexual relationship with him, and generally whether she had been involved in a conspiracy with Oswald to kill President Kennedy.

It's 3:00 on the East Coast of the US. The forum shows 940 people on line here. The Education Forum is showing 46 people on line there. Why do we keep hearing about that paranoid stink tank of a forum on here? That Forum sucks. It's nothing more than a censored gathering place for DiEugenio's rump swabs and a place where he can shill his crap .

I just finished reading Silvia Duran's entire HSCA interview (phew) and, in a nutshell, this is what she said about Oswald's hair color; that it was a bit lighter than Gary Cornwell's eyebrows. https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKcornwellG.htm This is the only picture of Gary Cornwall that I could find on the web. Having said this, all throughout her interview Ms. Duran is asked numerous times if Oswald was the man that looked like the picture shown in the newspapers, shown on TV, the man shown when Ruby shot Oswald, the man whose photo appears in the visa application, the man whom she met at the Cuban Consulate in MC. She was also asked how tall was Oswald and she said about as tall as Gary Cornwall and about her height. I don't know how tall Gary Cornwall is, but does it really matter!  Does Duran's description of his hair color and his height outweigh the certainty of her statements that it was Oswald whom she met at the Cuban Consulate!!! Does it outweigh the fact that Oswald had her name and the phone # of the Cuban Consulate in his address book!!!! That it's Oswald's photo on the Cuban visa!!! Common people.
