LOL, nothing established, but a conclusion drawn. How typical.

Obviously you either have never read Caro's biographies, or you
were not able to make obvious character judgments based on Caro's
work. LBJ was able to reach the pinnacle of political power
because he was more aggressive than his peers, and he had no
reservations about employing any means necessary to achieve his
goals, even if it meant stuffing ballot boxes, a technique he used
to win both the Presidency of his College student body and the
1948 Texas Senate seat.

Caro won a 2003 Pulitzer prize in biography for the third
volume in his biography of LBJ, "Master of the Senate: The
Years of Lyndon Johnson."

I think I am entitled to draw a conclusion based on a Pulitzer
prize winning biography of LBJ.

In case you haven't noticed, Caro's work that you've presented doesn't
support
anything of what you claim above.

You are totally wrong. You present no evidence to support
your conclusion. How typical.

Thanks for continuing the tradition of being clueless.

Thanks for showing your case is so weak that you need to
constantly use name calling.

You've posted nothing
regarding Caro's work on LBJ that's, what, his pre-presidential as well as
pre-vice presidential days (i..e., "Master of the Senate" was the title,
right?) that relates to the Liberty incident, and your words of:

"McGonagle may have been directly ordered by President Johnson or some other
superior officer to lie."

I never claimed that was in Caro's book. Thanks for muddying the
waters again.

To repeat, I cited Caro's book in support of my claim that:

It was generally agreed by insiders
that Johnson was someone you did not want to mess with. See Caro's
three volume biography for specific details.

Notice I never associated Caro and McGonagle. Only Weeks does.

Just another "out of thin air" remark thank you very much.

I commend you, Weeks, for your ability to distort. You must
have earned a Ph.D. in propaganda from spook school to
constantly resort to dishonest tactics.
