That was murder,and now I see how they got away with it.
Paul Findley wrote a book that includes this incident, "They Dare to Speak Out".
Our shameful, corrupt politicians covered up this barbaric attack on the USS Liberty. I can only hope that, in the future, it will be taught in history classes.

The two comments on the bottom of this are pretty interesting also, implying President Johnson wanted the Liberty to sink to drop mega bombs on Egypt. News to me. Veracity? Unclear.

Another good article.

From this article:
"... The Commission’s Report concluded:
“That there is compelling evidence that Israel’s attack was a deliberate attempt to destroy an American ship and kill her entire crew.
“That fearing conflict with Israel, the White House deliberately prevented the US Navy from coming to the defense of USS Liberty by recalling Sixth Fleet military rescue support while the ship was under attack.
“That surviving crew members were threatened with “court-martial, imprisonment or worse’ if they exposed the truth; and [the survivors] were abandoned by their own government.
“That there has been an official cover-up without precedent in American naval history.
“That a danger to our national security exists whenever our elected officials are willing to subordinate American interests to those of any foreign nation.” ..."
Findley's book should be required reading....
Yep... they Napalmed the ships. Accident my ass!
