Cover-Up Alleged in Probe of USS Liberty

A former Navy attorney who helped lead the military

investigation of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS

Liberty that killed 34 American servicemen says former

President Lyndon Johnson and his defense secretary,

Robert McNamara, ordered that the inquiry conclude

the incident was an accident.

In a signed affidavit released at a Capitol Hill news

conference, retired Capt. Ward Boston said Johnson

and McNamara told those heading the Navy's inquiry to

"conclude that the attack was a case of 'mistaken

identity' despite overwhelming evidence to the

contrary."

It was “one of the classic all-American cover-ups,” said

retired Admiral Thomas Moorer, a former Joint Chiefs of Staff

chairman who spent a year investigating the attack as part

of an independent panel he formed with other former military

officials. The panel also included a former US ambassador

to Saudi Arabia, James Akins.Torpedo hole in USS Liberty

“Why would our government put Israel’s interests ahead of our own?” Moorer asked from his wheelchair at

the news conference. He was chief of naval operations at the time of the attack.

Moorer, who has long held that the attack was a deliberate act, wants Congress to investigate. [Newsday]

Israel claims the USS Liberty was mistaken for the out-of-service Egyptian horse carrier El Quseir -

can you spot the difference?

El Quseir

USS Liberty

According to a 1981 NSA report on the incident, the El Quseir "was approximately one-quarter

of the Liberty's tonnage, about one-half its length, and offered a radically different silhouette."

Fifteen years after the attack, an Israeli pilot approached Liberty survivors and then held extensive

interviews with former Congressman Paul N. (Pete) McCloskey about his role. According to this senior

Israeli lead pilot, he recognized the Liberty as American immediately, so informed his headquarters, and

was told to ignore the American flag and continue his attack. He refused to do so and returned to base,

where he was arrested.

Later, a dual-citizen Israeli major told survivors that he was in an Israeli war room where he heard that

pilot's radio report. The attacking pilots and everyone in the Israeli war room knew that they were attacking

an American ship, the major said. He recanted the statement only after he received threatening phone

calls from Israel.

The pilot's protests also were heard by radio monitors in the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon. Then-U.S.

Ambassador to Lebanon Dwight Porter has confirmed this. Porter told his story to syndicated columnists

Rowland Evans and Robert Novak and offered to submit to further questioning by authorities.

Unfortunately, no one in the U.S. government has any interest in hearing these first-person accounts of

Israeli treachery. [Washington Report]

"Then, inexplicably, at 2 p.m., unmarked Israeli aircraft began attacking the ship." [Ledger

Enquirer]

Israel attacked the USS Liberty using UNMARKED AIRCRAFT. This is the single fact which proves Israel

knew exactly who they were attacking. Israel's story is that they thought USS Liberty was an Egyptian

ship and therefore a legitimate target of war. Were that true, there would be no reason to attack a

supposedly Egyptian ship with unmarked aircraft. The only possible reason to use unmarked aircraft to

attack the ship is that Israel knew it was an American ship and intended to sink it, then to blame the

attack on Egypt.

Moorer, who as top legal council to the official investigation is in a position to know, agrees that Israel

intended to sink the USS Liberty and blame Egypt for it, thus dragging the United States into a war on

Israel's behalf. This seems to be a common trick of Israel. Starting with the Lavon affair, through the USS

Liberty, to the fake radio transmitter that tricked Reagan into attacking Libya, to potentially 9-11 itself,

Israel's game is to frame Arabs and set them up as targets for the United States.

The official US investigation is discredited. And with it, every claim of innocence for Israel that relied on

the official investigation as a source.

The real question facing the American people is why the US Government seems more concerned with

protecting Israel after they are caught playing these dirty tricks, rather than doing something to convince

Israel not to kill any more Americans.

"Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has

been gathered. It's classified information." -- US official quoted in Carl Cameron's Fox News

report on the Israeli spy ring and its connections to 9-11.
