Topic: USS Liberty - Israel's "War of Self Defense"

Italian Guy · September 22nd, 2005

The author is well known for his extremistic views: He called the US "the new Saddam" (http://www.torontosun.com/News/Colum...4/1201356.html), and Bush "another Custer" (http://www.canoe.ca/NewsStand/Column...01/565043.html). I suggest you to start researching a bit, and you'll find out some interesting stories about this historical episode:

On the fourth day of the Six Day War (8 Jun 1967), at about 2 PM Sinai time (then, GMT+2), Israeli defense forces attacked the USS Liberty about 14 miles off the coast of the Sinai peninsula, near El Arish.

After ten official US investigations (including five congressional investigations), there was never any evidence that the attack was made with knowledge that the target was a US ship. There is substantial evidence the attack was a tragic mistake caused by blunders of both the US and Israel. Eight US presidents, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush (41), Clinton, and Bush (43), have each accepted the conclusion that the attack was a tragic case of mistaken identity.

Nevertheless, conspiracy theorists continue to claim the Israelis knowingly attacked a US ship. By some estimates, there are more conspiracy theories about the Liberty incident than about the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
