Senate Records Show Doubts on ’64 Vietnam Crisis.
In an echo of the debates over the discredited intelligence that helped make the case for the war in Iraq, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday released more than 1,100 pages of previously classified Vietnam-era transcripts that show senators of the time sharply questioning whether they had been deceived by the White House and the Pentagon over the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident.

1. So they had doubts after Tet?
No disrespect intended to the OP, but I find this less of a shock than the NYT. I'd be a lot more interested in what those senators had to say in 1964.
