lest we forget - June 8, 1967:
"At the time of the attack, the U.S.S Liberty was flying the American flag and its identification was clearly indicated in large white letters and numerals on its hull. It was broad daylight and the weather conditions were excellent. Experience demonstrates that both the flag and the identification number of the vessel were readily visible from the air. At 1450 hours local time on June 8, 1967, two Israeli aircraft circled the U.S.S. Liberty three times, with the evident purpose of identifying the vessel. Accordingly there is every reason to believe that the U.S.S Liberty was identified, or at least her nationality determined, by Israeli aircraft approximately one hour before the attack. In these circumstances, the later military attack by Israeli aircraft on the U.S.S. Liberty is quite literally incomprehensible. As a minimum, the attack must be condemned as an act of military recklessness reflecting wanton disregard for human life.

1. thanks for posting this.
My brother inlaw was one of the injured survivors. I have listened to his first hand accounts of the attacks and their forced silence by those in control for 25 years. Shame, shame, shame.

2. I have an idea
Let's create a scaled down replica of the USS Liberty and sink Jonathan Pollard on it.
