And what about the USS Liberty?

A long forgotten and forgiven event which the Congress has just refused to look into - again.

"And what about the USS Liberty?"

"A long forgotten and forgiven event which the Congress has just refused to look into - again."

Hadn't heard that the surviving crew members are now all in congress. But if you say so . . . . . . .

What right does Congress have to "forgive" a foreign country for deliberating bombing and killing our servicemen?

And whatever became of the May 2000 report, long overlooked:

Are you crazy?
Everybody looked into the USS Liberty, many mistakes were made on both sides, but here's what US gov't said:

C.I.A. report June 13, 1967 no malice; attack a mistake
U.S. Navy Court of Inquiry June 18, 1967 mistaken identity
Report by Clark Clifford July 18, 1967 no evidence ship was known to be American
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence 1979/1981 no merit to claims attack was intentional
National Security Agency 1981 Mistaken identity
House Armed Services Cmtee 1991/1992 No support for claims attack was intentional

The last investigation was spurred by White House Chief of Staff John Sununu, who, after meeting with Liberty veterans, referred them to Representative Nick Mavroules, chairman Subcommittee on Investigations of the House Armed Services Committee. After a one year investigation the matter was closed, the investigators evidently finding nothing to support conspiracy claims. (The Liberty Incident, Doctoral Dissertation, Judge A. Jay Cristol.)

A long forgotten and forgiven event which the Congress has just refused to look into - again.

It is not long forgotten and forgiven.

There are just many who wish it were. It makes some people uncomfortable for it to be discussed.

And as for them...too bad.

Would you appreciate it if people thought the killing of Jews in World War II should be "long forgotten and forgiven"?
