It should come as no surprise the NSA “has kept secret a 2001 finding by its own historian that its officers deliberately distorted critical intelligence during the Tonkin Gulf episode that helped precipitate the Vietnam War,” according to the New York Times. “Most historians have concluded in recent years there was no second attack [against US destroyers on August 4, 1964], but they have assumed the agency’s intercepts were unintentionally misread, not purposely altered. The research by Robert Hanyok, the agency’s historian, was detailed four years ago in an in-house article that remains secret, in part because agency officials feared its release might prompt uncomfortable comparisons with the flawed intelligence used to justify the war in Iraq, according to an intelligence official.”

Actually this had already been disclosed in the Pentagon Papers during the Summer of 1971. It is no secret that the USA government has demonstrably proven its willingness to kill 58000 of its own citizens for corporate profits. Therefore, killing 2000+ for the same purpose is small change to these murderers.
