I don't trust everything they say

If the National archives do have evidence of these overtures of peace does anyone have links to them? Would be interesting to get a translation to see exactly what they say. I don't overly trust the interpretations of a journalist who has been pretty anti US for most of his career.
Just an opinion? He gives sources and facts to back up his point.

The archives seem to be accurate concerning the US records not to mention that other historians have stated clearly that this is so.

Like I said.. I've done a bit of research into the topic myself.

And Pilger isn't the only guy that claims this. Just the most respected. Though I suppose it's easy to dismiss him as having an agenda.
