"American Treachery in the Attack on the USS Liberty Much Deeper Than Previously Thought"
<snip>
"It has long been assumed that Israel's deliberate attack on the USS Liberty was just another of her made-to-order false flag operations done simply for the purpose of dragging an unwilling America into a Middle East war on the side of the Jewish state. However, new information uncovered by former BBC investigative journalist Peter Hounam reveals that America--and more specifically the administration of Lyndon Johnson--was not as much the unsuspecting victim in all of this that she has claimed these last 40 years. Based on relatively new evidence, the attack on the Liberty was actually part of a much larger plan and that the Liberty incident was just one domino in a series of them that had as the ultimate goal a real-live shooting war between the US and the USSR. Had the Liberty been sunk with no witnesses as planned, the world would be a much different place now as a result, and certainly not for the better.
In short, what was planned for that awful day in American history was that the a defenseless, unarmed American ship sailing in international waters off the coast of Egypt be sunk to the bottom of the Mediterranean and that the Soviets and their Arab allies (in particular Egypt) would be blamed for the event. As with the sinking of the USS Maine nearly 70 years earlier, the cry would be "Remember the USS Liberty" and America's "justifiable" response to such a horrendous act would be the launching of nuclear weapons against Egypt, the USSR's ally. Working in tandem with the US would be allies such as Israel, Great Britain and, interestingly, Australia. The end result would be a Middle East free of any Soviet presence, leaving America and her ally Israel in possession of Arab oil for the foreseeable future and in a better position to dictate terms to the communists.

Voices - USS Liberty: American Treachery
Can't find any MSM links to this story, however, I'm sure it's something to get the conspiracy theorists worked up. I had friends on the Liberty, always believed that there was much that has been covered up about the attack. Who knows?, maybe there is something to this. Something to watch:
"Beginning in June, AFP will begin running a series of exclusive articles going into deeper detail the mechanics of "Operation Cyanide" with an individual who worked in US Intelligence circles and has first-hand knowledge of the events that took place before, during and after June 8 th 1967. What he has to say has never before been published."
