Before one goes off on a rant to show they are the smartest person in the room, it's best to know the other person's position. You can find the Starkey theory in his book that I referred to or in mine A Threat to the Republic.
Once you crank that into your thinking I'll continue the debate.

I regret that this Posting remained unanswered for week. I was completely misunderstood. In my first sentence I state "I don't know" (referring to the plan to go South and then reverse the escape route.) I then proceed to provide support to the distinct possibility that the plan existed, by showing the lack of support from the South. Whether there was a Plan, or not, the South acted like they didn't know he was coming.
I remain adamant that Booth escape from the South was not of concern to him. He knew there was a way out.
I request that we drop this "debate" and the need to argue needlessly.
