Example of Big Lie anti-American propaganda

Example of "Big Lie" anti-American propaganda
	In his propaganda work, The Liberty Incident, A. Jay Cristol flatly asserts as fact that there have been "five official Congressional investigations" into the Israeli attack on USS Liberty and all of them have exonerated Israel of any wrongdoing. This statement has been widely quoted and cited as evidence that the Israeli attack has been fully investigated and found to have been an accident. The statement meets the classic definition of "big lie propaganda:" If you tell a big enough lie often enough, people will come to believe it as true. That this statement is a lie is beyond controversy. Cristol has been called upon repeatedly to produce evidence to support this claim - he has refused to do so. Official Congressional investigations leave a paper trail, yet there is no evidence of any alleged investigations anywhere in the records of Congress. In response to a request for all such records, the Librarian of Congress replied as follows:
		"After checking numerous resources, including the CIS (Congressional Information Service) Indexes to Congressional Hearings (both published and unpublished), and the Public Documents Masterfile, I could find no evidence that the Congress ever held hearings or launched an investigation into the June 8, 1967 incident with the USS Liberty."
	Anyone with an ounce of intellectual honesty or integrity would either withdraw the claim of "five official Congressional investigations" or offer proof in support of the claim. Cristol has done neither. Instead, he continues to trumpet his Big Lie in the hope that if he repeats it often enough, people will believe it.
