Recent claims by Liberty deniers, however, has brought a number of insiders out of the closet. Several were revealed in the June 2003 issue of
We have known for years that communications between the attacking Israeli jets and their headquarters were intercepted as the aircraft approached our ship. The Israeli pilots were clearly told by their controllers to find and quickly sink "the American ship" which was USS Liberty. Those communications were almost simultaneously translated and broadcast from a US Air Force C130 near the scene to an intelligence site at Crete where they were sent to Washington and to other stations as "Critical Intelligence," the fastest and most secure means available. Known as CRITICs, these reports routinely arrived in the White House, State Department and Pentagon within ten minutes or less.
Thus Liberty's attackers were caught in the act and their treachery was known to the highest levels of the US government even before the attack was completed.
Now, thirty-six years later, people who saw those reports as they occurred find that they can remain silent no longer.
Meanwhile, statements are being prepared from others who saw the same reports. Those will soon be presented in these spaces.
Stay tuned!
