Well, if I read correctly, the congressional material was pretty heavily suppressed and only partially published.  Even J. Spivak, who had access to the uncensored records, didn't do a very good job at getting the word out in a believable form due to his predispositions.

I hadn't heard this story before, or maybe I've just forgotten if it were glossed over during US history courses.  Anyway, I'm not too surprised - just annoyed.
