So, what exactly is the problem?

Is it that he was trying to sell a book?

Or is the problem that he, as an inside man, publicly expressed doubts about the findings of the investigation?

Absolutely no problem, if Curry truly believed what he wrote in his book, basically that the assassination was a conspiracy. As Charles points out, that's a huge volt face on his early comments. Was Curry genuine or trying to make money out of the assassination? Everyone can make their own mind up on that one. But, as I said previous, conspiracy books sell better than non-conspiracy books. Had Curry wrote a book that repeated his early comments/statements ie no conspiracy, would anyone have even printed the book? I think that's a fair observation.

Nasty, nasty……. Did your wife leave you… or perhaps….. did she decide to stay?

So, you don't really know who decided that "they" had enough evidence against Oswald for the Tippit murder?

True, but he wasn't the only one who came to such a conclusion after the passing of time.

I have no idea. It could be either, but is there something that justifies the conclusion that he was just trying to make some money?

Fair enough

Sure it is, but it's nothing more than an assumption that nobody would have printed a pro-LN book by Curry.

This is a good thread, lots of intelligent debate and discussion. Can't we all keep it cool...it would be a real shame to have it deleted.    8)

Martin, I never stated a conclusion. Nor did I state an "assumption that nobody would have printed a pro-LN book by Curry". Sure, I have an opinion on both, which along with 5p will buy a box of matches, but I've intentionally kept those opinions to myself. Unless asked I very rarely state opinions. Personal opinions are worthless to anyone else. What I tried to do is raise certain points and observations which I believe are relevant. I'm also questioning the reasons for Curry's volte-face. I do think it very relevant that this volte-face coincided with the release of a book. You don't?

You can't be Fk'n serious?

They had an eyewitness who saw Oswald kill Tippit.
They had eyewitnesses who saw Oswald at the crime scene.
They had eyewitnesses who saw Oswald with a weapon at the crime scene.
They had eyewitnesses who saw Oswald emptying shells at the crime scene.
They had an eyewitness who saw Oswald acting suspiciously leading up to the theater.
They had the box office girl tell them that Oswald didn't buy a ticket.
They had a Police officer who was struck by Oswald.
They had more Police Officers confirm Oswald resisted being questioned.
They had Oswald's revolver, which Oswald used to try and kill more Police officers.
