New revelations in attack on American spy ship -- chicagotribune.com

"The ground control station stated that the target was American and for the aircraft to confirm it," Forslund recalled. "The aircraft did confirm the identity of the target as American, by the American flag. "The ground control station ordered the aircraft to attack and sink the target and ensure they left no survivors." Forslund said he clearly recalled "the obvious frustration of the controller over the inability of the pilots to sink the target quickly and completely." "He kept insisting the mission had to sink the target, and was frustrated with the pilots' responses that it didn't sink."

Forty years have passed and our government still refuses to tell us the truth about the deliberate attack on the Liberty, and the abandonment of our sailors. May LBJ and the Israeli's involved rot in Hell, every last one of them.

For your info, it is apparently an Arab ship," says ground control. "Roger," says the pilot. "It is an Egyptian supply ship," says ground control. "Roger," comes the response. CNN.com - USS Liberty attack tapes released - Jul. 10, 2003

I've read about this before. Apparently it only deserves small blurbs lost in the mid section of magazines.

Considering we know now that other events such as the Korean war were US plotted events it goes to show nobody cares about the past.

The powers that be would rather not comment and the masses would rather watch MTV / HDTV / NBC that some boring news cast on 40 year old events.
