He was an officer aboard when attack happened.
Short version, Isreal needed more time to attack Syria after defeating Egypt and didn't
want a UN ceasefire. So they removed the intel gathering ship.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/a_standalone_me.html#comment-89494 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/a_standalone_me.html#comment-89494 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 14:23:43 -0600
BS.. as revealed by the electronic intercepts, and the actions which have been verified by Navy personnel on the scene,  the Israelites absolutely, positively, KNEW they were attacking an unarmed American Navy ship in international waters. 

Delve a little deeper and the demonic collusion, ignorance or treason committed by our govt becomes, sadly, all too clear.

The Israelites, knowingly, deliberately, murdered our fellow servicemen.  End of story.

The politicians, both theirs and most despicably ours, covered it up.

I'll take the word of a fellow serviceman over that of a bought and paid for politician any day.

The crew of the USS Liberty deserve an honest accounting, and those responsible for her fate deserve a spot in the defendants box,  and hopefully, a justly deserved reservation at the gallows.

It was explained to me, once upon a time, by folk who's job it was to know nuances and such, that the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty was motivated by bad intel. Intel that had been provided to the Israelis by some NATO "partners".

The Israelis had been purposely led to believe that the USS Liberty was a Soviet spy ship aiding the arabs.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/a_standalone_me.html#comment-89479 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/a_standalone_me.html#comment-89479 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 20:30:31 -0600 ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/a_standalone_me.html#comment-89475 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/a_standalone_me.html#comment-89475 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 12:46:32 -0600 http://lewrockwell.com/margolis/margolis12.2.html
