Admiral Kidd calls Israelis "Murderous Bast*&%ds

[Comadreja]

Ex-officer alleges cover-up in probe of spy ship attack: "We've been saying for 37 years that the court of inquiry was a fraud, that it was corrupted, that it ignored evidence and made findings not supported by the evidence," said Ennes, whose book about the incident claims it was a deliberate Israeli attack.

By June 1967, Boston was legal officer for then-Rear Adm. Isaac Kidd Jr. when the flag officer was assigned to head the hastily convened inquiry into the Liberty attack.
Unable to interview hospitalized sailors and Israeli military and civilian officials, the investigative panel was given just a week to examine the battered ship, interview survivors and collect radio intercepts and other information.
Boston said it was obvious then who was responsible.
"There's no way in the world that it was an accident," Boston said.
In his affidavits and a recent interview, Boston recounted how he and Kidd discussed their conclusions about the survivors' testimony.
"(Kidd) referred to the Israelis as 'murderous bastards,' " Boston said.
After Kidd delivered the panel's report to Washington officials, Boston said the admiral told him, "they aren't interested in the facts or what happened. It's a political issue. They want to cover it up." Then Kidd admonished Boston to keep silent.
