I see no evidence that he made such a claim when taken in context. He may have commented that he "saw" that as in "I saw 3,000 Americans killed on 9/11" or "I saw Obama lie to Congress during the State of the Union." In these cases, it happened, you may not have been physically present, but it most certainly happened based on the evidence you saw. I don't believe O'Reilly ever said that in same context that Williams said, for example, that he saw a body floating down Bourbon street, which never happened since Bourbon never flooded and he wasn't there anyway since he was at the Ritz in NOLA which, last time I checked, was on Canal Street. >> He claimed he was knocking on the door when that friend of Oswald shot himself. I have not heard O'Reilly's response to this but it could be a bona fide lie. If Tracy Rowlett says he lied, I believe Rowlett. This may or may not turn into something but it is necessary to hear O'Reilly's explanation for the comment, if the comment occurred. I have believed that his series of books, "Killing ..." were not supposed to be literal interpretations but they do seem to be treated as biographies which says to me they're supposed to history, not historical novels. >> He claimed that he and others were pelted by rocks and debris during the LA riots. Apparently, there is at least some credibility to this story as some of the reporters involved have supported O'Reilly's version and there was contemporaneous reporting on it. >> I think this establishes a pattern of trying to insert himself into events that he didn't actually experience. The jury may be out on one of them. The rest are just Media Matters hate speech.
