Wim has allready answered this question when i first registered, the second question was why if the main aim of the day was to setup Oswald as a lone assassin firing from the TSBD did Nicoletti allow Files to fire from a frontal loction such as the Grassy Knoll?Nicoletti did "allow" Files to fire from a frontal loction such as the Grassy Knoll, only if Nicoletti would miss a headshot. If you read the book, you would know that. JF - Chuck said: But you don’t fire, unless I miss. It’s gonna be your call at that point. So you got to be very alert on this. And I told him: Don’t worry about me. I got it, boss!+++++++++++JF – Nobody said nothing to me. At that point we pull out and as we went down the street heading for the intersection, the only thing that was said to me was … Mr. Nicoletti asked me “Jimmy, don’t you think you overreacted?” I said “What do you mean?” He said: “Don’t you think you fired too fast?” And I told him I was fixing to lose my field of fire, either I shoot then or I put it in my guncase and I leave! I said I had one choice. I said at this point, you told me we were going for a headshot, there had been no headshot. I said I was just following my orders. “I didn’t want to explain to you why I didn’t shoot!” J – Did he say anything to that?JF – That was the end of it. He told me at the intersection to make a left and pull over at the gas station. We get down there, he said “We’re getting out, we are getting into another car there.“ And I said OK, I pulled out and parked, they get out of the car. He said: “I’ll see you in Chicago!” And that was the only thing that was said. J – Did you take that as criticism?JF – I took it as criticism. Naturally!J – Did he criticize you very often?JF- No. The only thing he asked me if I thought I overreacted. J – You told him no and he accepted?JF – He accepted it.
