The USS Liberty was a United States Navy Technical
Research and Intelligence ship that was attacked by numerous Israeli Air
Force jet fighters aircraft AND Israeli Navy torpedo boats on June 8,
1967, which was during the Israeli "Six-Day War".
The combined air and sea attack killed 34 crew members (officers,
seamen, Marines, and one civilian), wounded 170 crew members, as the
Israeli forces did their best., to sink this ship.!!
At the time, the ship was in "protected international-waters" north
of the Sinai Peninsula, which was about 26 miles northwest of the
Egyptian city, Arish.
Both the Israeli AND the U.S. governments conducted inquiries and
issued reports that concluded that the attack was a "mistake" due to
Israeli confusion about the identity of the USS Liberty., which was "the
one and only ship of its kind" in the world at the time.?!?!
U.S. diplomats and intelligence officials continue to dispute the
"official findings"., saying the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty was
not a mistake, and remains the ONLY maritime incident in U.S. history,
in which U.S. military forces were killed., and then was NEVER
investigated by the U.S. Congress.!!!
Over the years, there have been numerous documentaries produced on
this "incident", but this particular film (originally titled "Loss of
Liberty") was one of the very first to be made, AND because of that.,
has interviews with MORE of the actual survivors of the Israeli attack
than any other documentary to date...
As always., after watching., do your best to "pass it on".....
"Truth Does Not Fear Investigation"
"He who Wins the War.., also Writes the History"
Then finally...
"The Truth Shall Set You Free., but at first., it'll make you damn mad.!!!
