Also, if we're going to be angry, we ought to still be angry over what happened to the captain and crew of the Pueblo, who were starved and tortured for eleven months by the North Koreans and then essentially blacklisted by the USN after they were released. They were still in captivity when the Israelis attacked the Liberty.

Hell, the Pueblo is still sitting in Wonsan harbor as a Communist tourist attraction.

We ought to be REALLY PO'd about that...but we're not for political reasons.

“They were still in captivity when the Israelis attacked the Liberty.”

No, they were not. The Liberty incident happened i June 1967. The Pueblo was captured in Jan. of 1968.

You are pretty far behind the times. In 1999, the Clinton crowd allowed the North Koreans, unmolested, to sail it around the South Korean peninsula to Nampo. It is now anchored in the Taedong River at Pyongyang.

Wrong. The Pueblo incident didn't happen until several months after the Liberty.

And on April 10, 2007 Bill Richardson let himself be used as a propaganda tool by the North Koreans by touring the ship, which is still a commissioned vessel on active duty in the USN. I wrote to my Congressmen about this fiasco. It shows what kind of judgment Richardson has. Diplomat my ass.
