I provided a link to a document, and posted text from it, that proves Oswald did in fact work for the CIA. So why are you trying to imply sarcastically that he never did? Or are you claiming the document is a fake? If not, at least admit it.
And yes, according to the same document, he "sucked" at his work for the CIA, at least it suggests as much when the author of the memo, John McCone (CIA Director) writes.. At the time of the Dallas action, the Oswald subject was only seldom in our employ; after the Soviet assignment, we found him to be unreliable and emotionally unstable.

I'm preparing a detailed response to
Turbonium's answers to my questions, but it's going to take me a while. However, I do want to jump in on this as it's part of an ongoing discussion. Yes,
turbonium, the memo is almost certainly fake. First of all, "confidential" was the lowest security clearance in use at the time, but the memo characterizes the information as being of a "highly sensitive nature." If this were truly the case, it would have been classified "top secret" or "eyes only." "Confidential" information is routinely declassified after a certain time period--this memo should have shown up a long time ago. Second, we have the repeated awkward construction "the Oswald subject," in an apparent attempt to mimic officialese. Third, it is obvious that the last page, which includes McCone's signature, was lifted from an authentic memo, as it contains only two generic paragraphs [edit: "sentences," not paragraphs] that don't have any obvious connection to the rest of the memo, and have an inappropriate "routine" tone. Fourth, the memo states that the information should be given to the Warren Commission only if specifically requested. But the Commission
did request all information about Oswald's possible involvement with the CIA, and McCone even testified about it, so why wasn't this information provided? Fifth, this memo was supposedly given to a conspiracist by a "mysterious FBI agent" many years ago--no copy could be found in the Treasury Department archives, and the document number (which in any case is a Secret Service and not a CIA document number) is connected to an altogether different document. Finally, even leading conspiracists such as Jim Marrs doubt the memo's authenticity.
I'll have more on this later, but for now, I suggest you read the posts related to the memo on the page you linked above--as usual, you evidently didn't bother to do any checking and just uncritically accepted something that initially appears to call into question the "official version" of events.
