U.S. to Host Conference on USS Liberty                                                                         WASHINGTON - The State Department will cast a spotlight next week on the 1967 Israeli attack on the U.S. spy ship Liberty where 34 American servicemen were killed. http://www.ussliberty.org

We Salute a few honorable men                                                              There still remains a few honorable men, those who stand for principals and for themselves. In 1967 Israel attacked the USS Liberty killing 34 Americans and seriously injuring 170 more. This could not have been a mistake since the attack was not just a sole incident but a coordinated attack by the Israeli Air force and Navy.

LBJ ordered ship cover-up: Lawyer                                          WASHINGTON—A former navy attorney who helped lead the military investigation of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty that killed 34 sailors says former president Lyndon Johnson and his defence secretary, Robert McNamara, ordered that the inquiry conclude the incident was an accident.

New charges vs. Israel in '67 ship attack                                     WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- A private commission investigating the 1967 attack on the U.S. spy ship USS Liberty on Wednesday released the sworn testimony of one naval investigator that the Israelis knew the ship was American and intended to "murder its entire crew."

Ship Attack: President ‘Ordered Accident Verdict’                                         A former US Navy lawyer who helped lead the military investigation of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty that killed 34 servicemen says former president Lyndon Johnson and his defence secretary, Robert McNamara, ordered that the inquiry conclude that it was an accident.
