On June 8, 1967, Israeli armed forces attacked the U.S. intelligence ship USS Liberty, killed 34 young American men, wounded 171 people and inflicted 821 rocket and machine-gun holes to blame the Arab/Muslim armies for Israel's terrorist air and sea attack on the USS Liberty during the Six Day War between Israel and the Arab States. USS Liberty survivors and many key U.S. Government officials, including former Secretary of State Dean Rusk and ex-JCS Chairman Admiral Thomas Moorer have pointed out that the Israeli military attack on the USS Liberty ship was no accident.
American public should remember that "Israel attacked the USS Liberty deliberately and then lied about it. Sooner or later, Americans will insist that their government and their representatives in Congress find out why," writes James M. Ennes, Jr., author of the famous book Assault on the Liberty (Random House 1980 - Ballantine 1986), who retired from the U.S. Navy in 1978 as a Lieutenant Commander after 27 years.
