“When you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” (Sherlock Holmes) It took 42 years for one U.S. leader to speak out about Israel’s deliberate and murderous attack in 1967 on the USS Liberty costing 34 American lives. That voice was Admiral Thomas Moorer’s, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff— “a wanton, sneaky attack…they [Israelis] could kill as many Americans as they did in confidence that Washington would cooperate in quelling any public outcry.” Which, of course, is exactly what the Johnson administration did. In this article, we explore the aftermath of the attack, the few brave souls willing to put careers and livelihoods on the line to speak truth to power and the gargantuan deception cooked up by the Israelis with lots of U.S. help that has kept the truth a deep, dark secret for over four decades. Even today, the Liberty’s fate remains hidden in plain sight. Woe to the U.S. truth tellers who expose other Israeli war crimes. We cover all that and more in “Murder on the High Seas: The Day Israel attacked America Part 2”
