Scientist says Oswald photo not faked


HANOVER, N.H., Nov. 6 (UPI) -- An iconic photo of accused presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was not faked as claimed by some, an American academic says.

Computer scientist Hany Farid at Dartmouth College digitally analyzed the picture with modern forensic tools and says it was not altered, the college announced Thursday.

The photo shows the alleged John F. Kennedy assassin in his Dallas back yard holding up both a rifle and Marxist literature. Oswald and others claimed the photo to be faked, citing inconsistent shadows and lighting.

"If we had found evidence of photo tampering, then it would have suggested a broader plot to kill JFK," Farid said. "Those who believe that there was a broader conspiracy can no longer point to this photo as possible evidence."

a Fair Play for Cuba activist when the address listed on the leaflets he passed out in NOLA traced back to an anti-Castro operation of CIA-affiliated, pro-Batista, Mafia-connected Cubans. No surprise, but consistent with what else is known about him, including his "adoption" by the White Russian (Czarist/anti-Communist) community in Dallas. He got one thing right when he said he was a patsy before being gunned down by another member of that same network.
