How it is a lie when the Court's findings were altered
after they were submitted by Kidd to his superiors?

And Kidd never found that out...
And no copies are kept in different places...
And nobody realizes that his testimony was altered...

If Boston knew that the records were altered then is was
is right, and duty, to tell Kidd and the JAG. Telling his
story only after Kidd was dead, is a little strange.

I see no possiblity that Boston is lying

If Boston is not lying then it is his *duty* to notify Congress and/or
Navy brass and/or JAG that the "records were altered." Obstruction of
Justice is a very serious matter.

It is the duty of American Jews to join the US Military in numbers
equivalent to their percentage of the population. That would surely
insure the highest degree of professionalism in the ranks. g

Who empaneled the court of inquiry? My guess is that that entity is
the one that sets the boundaries of the courts inquiry and reviews its
findings. The court for example had no legal standing to hear
testimony pertaining to LBJ's conduct of the Vietnam war. By the same
token, the entity that created the court could tell it that it could
not call any members of the IDF as witnesses.

And it's probable that testimony was taken
out of the NCOI report because it was judged inflamatory or of
questionable veracity by whoever in the DOD that conducted the final
review.

Only the court has the right to alter the court records.
All the DoD can do is to stamp a big "Top Secret" on the inflamatory
parts.

How do you know that? If the DOD is the entity that empaneled the
court, it is probably the entity that rules on the courts scope of
inquiry. Striking testimony from the record is probably legally
allowed. My guess is that only falsifying testimony or other evidence
would be illegal.

The bottom line is that Boston is not a liar. When he says the court
wanted to go to Israel to gather evidence but was not allowed by Adm
McCain and others, that is surely what happened. When he says the
testimony of Lt Painter the MGing of the life rafts was excised,
that is without a doubt true also.

So as we see, not only has there never been a congressional
investigation of the attack on the Liberty. There has never been a
complete NCOI investigation either.
