(12,792 posts)might lead to nuclear conflict...this should now be painfully obvious to anyone scrutinizing the declassified information. There could be no public release of information that the CIA had any interest in Oswald, or was even attempting to impersonate him.
Government officials may even have gone so far as to warn witnesses that any speculation fanning the flames of conspiracy might lead to nuclear war and the deaths of millions of Americans. This is, perhaps, why one witness before the WC stated that he wanted to be able to sleep at night, after being interrogated about precisely where he had found the magic bullet.
So who would have started this nuclear war that Katzenbach was so afraid of? Was it the Soviets, if Oswald had been used as part of a KGB conspiracy? Or, was it the right-wing American war-mongers who were eager to have an excuse to start the conflict in the first place?
