Oswald's Freudian slip during radio broadcast

I just read this:

A very good article and can't help but notice this:

Stuckey wondered how he supported himself his three years in Russia and asked if he was given any government subsidy there. Stressed, Oswald almost revealed his true purposes when he said that:


…I worked in Russia. I was under the protection, I was not under the protection of the American government, but I was at all times considered an American citizen. I did not lose my American citizenship…I am back in the United States. A person who renounces his citizenship becomes legally disqualified for returning to the United States.

Looks like he almost slipped there and is saying that he was doing what researchers all along have said, that he was some kind of agent, then hastily corrected himself. Or not?

Thoughts on this?

I always thought the same thing about what LHO said, that it was a Freudian slip.

One thing about that interview: to me it always seemed like the whole thing was staged, and that Lee was playing along with the interviewers to provide answers designed to make any normal American think, "Wow, what a dirty commie rat."

I agree with you, Roger. Even that last sentence when he says he's allowed to be here is odd. The WC tried to making him out to be some raving madman, so a madman would not care if he's allowed to be in the country he supposedly rejects. Yet, here he is making darn sure that, yes, I'm allowed to be here LOL.
