- Please provide specific information, including the name of any
- administration officials, the date of occurrences, the person or persons
- to whom the information was provided, the text of the information provided,
- the sources you referenced, and evidence to prove that the information
- given was incorrect and was knowingly provided with the deliberate intent
- to deceive, which indicates that any senior official in the FDR, JFK, or
- LBJ, administrations or that the president himself ever lied (knowingly
- provided incorrect information with the deliberate intent to deceive) under
- oath, in a court of law, during a deposition, or to Congress.
-
- That's easy, LBJ's lying about the Tonkin Gulf incident, JFK's cover-up
- of the events surounding the Bay of Pigs fiasco. There are those (I am
- not among them) who claim that FDR knew the Japanese were going to attack
- Pearl Harbor and deliberately hid the facts so we would be drawn into the
- war. The FDR claims aside, clearly the LBJ lies were the worst since
- they lead to our involvemant in that hideous fiasco in Southeast Asia.
