It comes from the same page as that which you've cited as being Zionist and biased.

It does show bias, by saying those people
claim the attack was premeditated and deliberate. The connotation being like in, well, some claim the moon landing was a hoax.
Further on they use it again, "Critics -- including an active group of survivors from the ship -- assert that five U.S. congressional investigations and four other U.S. investigations were not investigations into the attack at all, but rather reports using evidence only from the U.S. Navy Court of Inquiry, or investigations unrelated to the culpability of the attack but rather discussing issues such as communications. In their view, the U.S. Navy Court of Inquiry is the only investigation on the incident to date. They
claim it was hastily conducted ..."
And again: "Some of the survivors
claim that this incident stands as the only peacetime attack on a U.S. naval vessel not investigated by Congress, and want a full Congressional hearing. They
claim that a proper investigation has never taken place... "
A truly unbiased report would show how
Joe Meadors, a survivor,
proved this claim is
TRUE:

The Question:
Patron: General Inquiry:
I was aboard the USS Liberty (AGTR-5) when the ship was attacked on June 8, 1967.
In searching through the Library of Congress website I could find references to Congressional investigations of the attacks on the USS Pueblo, the USS Cole and the USS Stark but none for the Congressional investigation of the attack on the USS Liberty.
Could you tell me why there is no copy of any Congressional investigation of the attack on the USS Liberty in the Library of Congress?
If it has not yet been provided to you, could you contact the appropriate Congressional personnel to ensure the Congressional investigation of the attack on the USS Liberty is provided to the Library of Congress?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Patron:
Thank you for your query.
After checking numerous resources, including the "CIS (Congressional Information Service) Indexes to Congressional Hearings (both published and unpublished), and the Public Documents Masterfile, I could find no evidence that the Congress ever held hearings or launched an investigation into the June 8, 1967 incident with the USS Liberty.
...
I hope that this information is helpful.

This is the crux of the issue, that there has
NEVER BEEN a Congressional investigation of the attack.
How the hell can Wikipedia promote itself as an encyclopedia while they make no mention of this fact?
