How US values its own! Shame, shame, shame.

"The attack on the Liberty was pre-planned, perhaps from at least a year beforehand,"

"The Liberty was sent into a very dangerous situation, where it was, in my view, placed in a position to be attacked."

clipped from news.bbc.co.uk Why did Israel attack USS Liberty? BBC News Friday, 8 June 2007 the USS Liberty came under fire, first from fighter planes, then torpedo boats without warning The attack, which lasted at least 40 minutes, resulted in the deaths of 34 of Mr Brummett's fellow crewmen, at least 170 injured and catastrophic damage to the ship. "There's been an egregious wrong done here, there's been an extreme number of lies told to the American people and the American people do not know the truth about what happened." Israeli pilots did not see any US flags (survivors say there were three) on the vessel before they opened fire. A 2003 independent commission of inquiry which reported that the attack on the Liberty "remains the only serious naval incident that has never been thoroughly investigated by Congress". the Liberty, a $40m state-of-the-art surveillance ship, was eavesdropping on an Israeli massacre of Egyptian prisoners of war. The attack was premeditated and that the truth has been suppressed.
