Ex-CIA Director Woolsey: ‘Marxist-Leninist’ Lee Harvey Oswald May Have Been KGB Agent

EXCERPT:

WOOLSEY: “Well, Mike Pacepa -- Ion Mihai Pacepa, was the head of Romanian intelligence and defected in 70s, he's the highest intelligence defector we got during the Cold War. And Mike says that he can't tell you exactly what happened, but he can tell you what all of the eastern bloc nation intelligence had thought happened after the Kennedy assassination. Which was this, that the Khrushchev had gotten very very furious about the Cuban Missile Crisis. He thought Kennedy made him look bad, he was mad, he ordered and shortly thereafter that Kennedy be assassinated. The preparations occurred. And for example, the trip to Mexico, where it looks like from some material that has been turned loose, he had met with a KGB -- Oswald met with the KGB officer who was specialized in assassinations. There are a number of things that look suspicious that happened during that time, before the assassination. But it looks as if what happened — it may have happened, is that Khrushchev got cold feet a couple of few months before the assassination was to occur, realized he might be starting a war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, which he didn’t want. And so he pulled back and he said OK, everybody call it off, and everybody did call it off except for Oswald, who was a deeply committed Marxist-Leninist sniper and idealog. And he had started to become a -- Soviet -- decided that the Soviets were two moderates, so he'd become a Cuban."
PERINO: “So he carried it out even though they had said let’s not do this?”
WOOLSEY: “Even though Khrushchev had ordered --"
PERINO: "Right."
WOOLSEY: "-- him not to do it. Now, this is one theory. It's one that I tend toward, but I am still willing to listen to the other possibilities, but it doesn’t seem as if it fits with what you may have been the case. We will have to wait and see.”
