On Monday, June 6, 2005, the attorney for the USS
Liberty Veterans
Association will file a report with the Department of
Defense detailing
the war crimes the Israelis committed during their
June 8, 1967 attack
on the USS Liberty.

Is this the same LVA attorney who the LVA claim in its "press release"
was "an Air Force intelligence officer in Vietnam in 1967" yet has
stated he was in fact, an E-4? That's the same Gotcher?

Is this the same "press release" dated _June 3_ which states:

start
The "Report" _was filed_ (emphasis added) with by James R. Gotcher,
General Legal Counsel, USS - LVA, with the Secretary of Defense at the
Pentagon on June 8, the 38th anniversary of the attack
on the USS Liberty.
end

According to the directive that governs the submission
of the report the
Department of Defense is required to conduct an
investigation. If they
do not, we have recourse.

Which might well be to threaten to have the LVA leadership collectively
hold its breath until the whole world accepts its version of an
incident, now close to 38 years ago, and long ago settled.

That might just do the trick ... g

Has anybody ever presented a credible reason WHY Israel would
deliberately attack an American ship? Or, if the intent was to
sink it and leave no survivors, why they did neither?


Aas anyone supplied a credible reason why a "neutral" US warship was hanging
around right in the middle of a hot warzone?
