The attack on Liberty is the only assault on a US ship of its kind NEVER publicly investigated by the full US Congress.They did testify publically moron."On June 8th, survivors of Israel's cruel attack will gather in Washington, DC to honor their dead shipmates as well as the mothers, sisters, widows and children they left behind.
"They will continue to ask for a fair and impartial congressional inquiry that, for the first time, would allow the survivors themselves to testify publicly.
"For decades, I have remained silent. I am a military man and when orders come in from the Secretary of Defense and President of the United States, I follow them. However, attempts to rewrite history and concern for my country compel me to share the truth."
How much are your investments in apartheid Israel paying you to rewrite history?
Don't you find that sort of work a little elitist?

It was at the US Navy Court Of Inquiry.

Thanks primarily to "Israel Firsters" like you, bitch.
Maybe you should change that avatar to a Star of David?
And move to Jerusalem.
"Can this nation's major newspapers and television networks sedulously refuse to discuss assertions that US servicemen were abandoned by their government? The answer is yes.
"An example: On October 22, 2003 the Independent Commission of Inquiry into the Israeli Attack on the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967, resulting in the deaths of 34 US crew members and the wounding of 173, issued its report on Capitol Hill. Among its findings:
'"There is compelling evidence that Israel's attack was a deliberate attempt to destroy an American ship and kill her entire crew; evidence of such intent is supported by statements from Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Undersecretary of State George Ball, former CIA director Richard Helms, former NSA directors Lieutenant General William Odom, USA (Ret), Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, USN (Ret).'"
I'll never confess that I shot himsettle it once and for all
(poll)Maybe you can settle the question of who shot JFK while you're at it.
wait... dammit....
"The Myth of the "11 Investigations
"If USA Today had investigated this claim, continually put forward by Israel partisans, its editors would have discovered that in 2006 the reference librarian at the Library of Congress had investigated this allegation and found it to be false:
"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resources, including the CIS (Congressional Information Service) Indexes to Congressional Hearings (both published and unpublished), and the Public Documents Masterfile, I could find no evidence that the Congress ever held hearings or launched an investigation into the June 8, 1967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."
Try again..

"Forty years ago this week, I was asked to investigate the heaviest attack on an American ship since World War II.
"As senior legal counsel to the Navy Court of Inquiry it was my job to help uncover the truth regarding Israel's June 8th 1967 bombing of the USS Liberty.
On that sunny, clear day 40 years ago, Israel's combined air and naval forces attacked our American intelligence-gathering ship for two hours, inflicting 70 percent casualties.
"Thirty four American sailors died and 172 were injured. The USS Liberty remained afloat only by the crew's heroic efforts.
"Israel claimed it was an accident. Yet I know from personal conversations with the late Admiral Isaac C. Kidd -- president of the Court of Inquiry -- that President Johnson and Secretary of Defense McNamara ordered him to conclude that the attack was a case of 'mistaken identity"'.

Arab terrorist firster...it was a friendly fire incident. No friendly fire incident received as much investigation that this one did.
These are some that were in Iraq, with US forces attacking US forces and British forces.
Friendly fire incidents and accidents - War on Iraq - smh.com.au
FRIENDLY FIRE INCIDENTS:
March 22: A British Royal Air Force (RAF) Tornado jet is accidentally shot down by a US Patriot missile. The Tornado's two crew are killed.
March 24: Two British soldiers are killed when their tank is mistakenly targeted by another British tank in southern Iraq.
March 27: 37 US Marines are injured when US troops mistakenly fire at each other near the southern city of Nasiriyah.
March 28: A British soldier is killed and four others are injured in the region of Basra when a US A-10 ground attack aircraft fires on them.
April 2: An F-18 US fighter jet is downed, probably by a US Patriot missile. The pilot is reported missing.
April 3: A US serviceman mistaken for an Iraqi soldier is shot dead by his own troops in central Iraq.
April 6: 18 Kurdish fighters are killed and 45 wounded near Arbil in northern Iraq when US aircraft mistakenly bomb a joint US-Kurdish convoy.
According to the website of the American War Library, just over half of the coalition troops killed or injured during the 1991 Gulf War were victims of friendly fire incidents.
Of those, about 165 US casualties were due to "friendly fire" out of a total of 367 Americans who lost their lives, it said.
OTHER INCIDENTS:
March 22: A US soldier at a camp in Kuwait lobs grenades into the tents of fellow soldiers, killing two and wounding 11 others.
March 30: 15 American soldiers are injured at a military camp in northern Kuwait when a disgruntled Egyptian employee rams a truck into the group. The truck driver sustained two gunshot wounds.

1) You are a douche bag
2) I never said 11 investigations.
The investigations were:
The US Navy Court of Inquiry
The Joint Chiefs
The CIA
The Senate Intelligence Committee
The House Armed Services Committee
3) The transcripts of the Israeli pilots as gotten by a US spy plane confirms that it was an accident
4) You are still a douche bag
Blah-blah-blah. For all of you, Liberty-The-Pirates-Of-The-Carribean-Flying-Duthcman-Dumbass bunch, from 0330 till 0415 the United States Coast Guard Cutter Point Welcome was twice under a coordinated attack first by a B-57, that shot 800 20mm rounds at it, and then bombed by a pair of F-4Cs. Well, I suppose, the cutter didn't look like the gook junk either, flying the colors and all that, meh? By the way, iranians aren't buying the story that, their airbus was shot down, because the USS Vincennes mistook it for an Independence Day illegal alien ship, either. Get lost.How can an attack that occured over TWO HOURS on a ship flying an AMERICAN FLAG that looked NOTHING LIKE the Egyptian trawler Israel claimed it thought it was attacking be an ACCIDENT? Just use a LITTLE common sense and ask yourself HOW could such an event have been an ACCIDENT?[/i]
Why would Israel deliberately attack a ship they knew was American?How can an attack that occured over TWO HOURS on a ship flying an AMERICAN FLAG that looked NOTHING LIKE the Egyptian trawler Israel claimed it thought it was attacking be an ACCIDENT? Just use a LITTLE common sense and ask yourself HOW could such an event have been an ACCIDENT?

It looks like the craft the chief screwmate Rachel Corrie was driving.What does a "gook" junk look like?
That is what extreme sportin' is all about, of course.Does it carry life rafts?
So, the crew was doing rafting and the jooz were sinking them. Was that Lloyd George smoking some potent stuff?"In addition, the testimony of Lt. Lloyd Painter concerning the deliberate machine-gunning of the life rafts by the Israeli torpedo boat crews, which I distinctly recall being given at the Court of Inquiry and including in the original transcript, is now missing."
Wards have bostons, indeed.
