#It is not the job of Congress to investigate everything.
#The US Navy's Court Of Inquiry did a pretty good job establishing
#the facts. (And please read those 727 pages before you claim
#your "facts." Mike did it, no reason why you can't.)
#
#Congress trusted the Navy investigation, which seems to be pretty
#professional and unbiased.

The main point, which Hillel does his best to avoid is:
Congress never conducted an investigation solely concerning
the USS Liberty affair, and Cristol's web page does not refute
that.
Congress never conducted an investigation of *MOST* affairs. Congress
usually investigates only if there is a high profile case or there
are indications that the executive branch lied; e.g. Joseph McCarthy
communists' hunt, Iran-Contra affair, Watergate.
Unless you can show some good reasons why US Navy's Court Of Inquiry
can't be trusted in the Liberty case, I don't see why Congress should
waste its time duplicating the court's job.
