The person I learned it from also has had congressmen as students. FYI, his friend is Norm Ornstein, google him they both are way smarter than you seem to think you are.. I think you don't understand what skepticism REALLY is. I also suggest you take a trip to the Holocaust Museum or their website and do some actual research.
And you SAID they were errors without actually giving me any proof. I've given you mine. I'm sorry I think an internationally known museum is a little bit more trustworthy than some random person on the internet.
You are as bad as any of the truthers who like to claim the NIST is wrong without any actual scientific evidence to the contrary.
BTW..here, do some READING.

As for what I was told, it has more to do with ignoring facts or intelligence failures with the US part
Now who should I believe? A well known congressional scholar who has even been on Colbert Report. Or you?
And yes, you ARE spouting woo.
