THOMAS MOORER, EX-JOINT CHIEFS CHAIR DIES
Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Adm. Thomas H. Moorer, a Pearl Harbor veteran who
became chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Vietnam
War, died Thursday. He was 91.

Navy officials confirmed his death. Moorer served as the
military's senior uniformed officer from July 1970 until his
retirement in July 1974.

A native of Mount Willing, Ala., Moorer played football at the
Naval Academy and received his commission in 1933. He joined one
of the early generations of naval aviators, flying fighters off
of the first American carriers, according to an official Navy
biography.

He was stationed at Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack on
Dec. 7, 1941.

The following February, he was flying a PBY patrol plane over
the water north of Darwin, Australia, when he was attacked by
Japanese aircraft. He and his co-pilot landed the plane in the
water and were rescued by a ship. That ship was attacked and
sunk later that day. He received a Silver Star for gallantry
throughout the ordeal and a Purple Heart for his wounds. He also
received a Distinguished Flying Cross for a patrol mission later
that year.

After the war, he rose through the ranks. President Johnson
selected him to be chief of naval operations, the service's top
officer, in 1967. He was reappointed by President Nixon in 1969.

Nixon also nominated him to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff the following year.

During the next few years, he supervised the U.S. troop
withdrawal from South Vietnam.

After he retired, Moorer appeared frequently in the news media
to comment on various issues.

In 1998, CNN cited him as confirming the American use of sarin,
a nerve agent, in a mission to hunt down U.S. defectors in Laos
during the Vietnam War. But he soon said he had simply heard of
unconfirmed stories about it and had no independent knowledge.
The network later retracted the story and reached a settlement
with Moorer.

He also accused Israel of deliberately attacking the USS
Liberty, an American spy ship monitoring the 1967 Six Day War.
Israel said it was an error.

Navy biographies list residences in Eufala, Ala., and McLean,
Va. His family includes his wife, the former Carrie Ellen Foy,
and four children.

Betrayal behind Israeli attack on U.S. ship

By ADM. THOMAS MOORER

After State Department officials and historians assembled in Washington,
D.C., last week to discuss the 1967 war in the Middle East, I am compelled
to speak out about one of U.S. history's most shocking cover-ups.

On June 8, 1967, Israel attacked our proud naval ship -- the USS Liberty --
killing 34 American servicemen and wounding 172. Those men were then
betrayed and left to die by our own government.

U.S. military rescue aircraft were recalled, not once, but twice, through
direct intervention by the Johnson administration. Secretary of Defense
Robert McNamara's cancellation of the Navy's attempt to rescue the Liberty,
which I personally confirmed from the commanders of the aircraft carriers
America and Saratoga, was the most disgraceful act I witnessed in my entire
military career.

To add insult to injury, Congress, to this day, has failed to hold formal
hearings on Israel's attack on this American ship. No official
investigation of Israel's attack has ever permitted the testimony of the
surviving crew members.

A 1967 investigation by the Navy, upon which all other reports are based,
has now been fully discredited as a cover-up by its senior attorney. Capt.
Ward Boston, in a sworn affidavit, recently revealed that the court was
ordered by the White House to cover up the incident and find that Israel's
attack was "a case of mistaken identity."

Some distinguished colleagues and I formed an independent commission to
investigate the attack on the USS Liberty. After an exhaustive review of
previous reports, naval and other military records, including eyewitness
testimony from survivors, we recently presented our findings on Capitol
Hill. They include:

· Israeli reconnaissance aircraft closely studied the Liberty during an
eight-hour period prior to the attack, one flying within 200 feet of the
ship. Weather reports confirm the day was clear with unlimited visibility.
The Liberty was a clearly marked American ship in international waters,
flying an American flag and carrying large U.S. Navy hull letters and
numbers on its bow.

Despite claims by Israeli intelligence that they confused the Liberty with
a small Egyptian transport, the Liberty was conspicuously different from
any vessel in the Egyptian navy. It was the most sophisticated intelligence
ship in the world in 1967. With its massive radio antennae, including a
large satellite dish, it looked like a large lobster and was one of the
most easily identifiable ships afloat.

· Israel attempted to prevent the Liberty's radio operators from sending a
call for help by jamming American emergency radio channels.

· Israeli torpedo boats machine-gunned lifeboats at close range that had
been lowered to rescue the most seriously wounded.

As a result, our commission concluded that:

· There is compelling evidence that Israel's attack was a deliberate
attempt to destroy an American ship and kill her entire crew.

· In attacking the USS Liberty, Israel committed acts of murder against
U.S. servicemen and an act of war against the United States

· The White House knowingly covered up the facts of this attack from the
American people.

· The truth continues to be concealed to the present day in what can only
be termed a national disgrace.

What was Israel's motive in launching this attack? Congress must address
this question with full cooperation from the National Security Agency, the
Central Intelligence Agency and the military intelligence services.

The men of the USS Liberty represented the United States. They were
attacked for two hours, causing 70 percent of American casualties, and the
eventual loss of our best intelligence ship.

These sailors and Marines were entitled to our best defense. We gave them
no defense.

Did our government put Israel's interests ahead of our own? If so, why?
Does our government continue to subordinate American interests to Israeli
interests? These are important questions that should be investigated by an
independent, fully empowered commission of the American government.

The American people deserve to know the truth about this attack. We must
finally shed some light on one of the blackest pages in American naval
history. It is a duty we owe not only to the brave men of the USS Liberty,
but to every man and woman who is asked to wear the uniform of the United
States.


Moorer was chairman of the joint chiefs of staff from 1970 to 1974. He is
joined in the independent commission of inquiry by Gen. Ray Davis (recently
deceased); Rear Adm. Merlin Staring; former Judge Advocate General of the
Navy and Ambassador James Akins.

THOSE NOT INVITED TO SPEAK STEAL THE SHOW
AT STATE DEPARTMENT LIBERTY DISCUSSION
By Delinda C. Hanley

The Department of State hosted on Jan. 12, 2004 a highly
charged panel discussion on Israel's June 8, 1967 attack on the
USS LIBERTY, which killed 34 Americans and wounded 172. Panel-
ists included historians, an Israeli author, a bankruptcy judge,
and a plucky investigative reporter. The State Department did
not invite as speakers LIBERTY survivors or other military ex-
perts who played key roles in the tragedy. Nonetheless, despite
clumsy attempts to silence them, the voices of survivors and their
supporters came through lound and clear.
Moderator Dr. Marc Susser, the State Department historian,
opened the two-day conference, called to mark the release of the
third volume of a trilogy focusing on U.S. foreign policy during
the Johnson administration. The latest volume documents U.S. pol-
icy directly before, during and after the June 1967 Arab-Israeli
war and includes newly declassified documents concerning Israel's
attack on the USS LIBERTY.
According to Susser, historians were granted full access to
all the Johnson administration's files, and "selected those doc-
uments that best told the history of U.S. foreign policy." By
law, Susser said, U.S. government documents are open to public
scrutiny -- although he admitted that after nearly 37 years,
some documents still could not be declassified. In a democracy,
the State Department historian stated, people have the right to
know, and their government must ensure its actions are not secret
forever. (See text on the Offrice of the Historian Web site,
www.state.gov/r/pa/ho/frus/johnsonlb. )
Ambassador David Satterfield, deputy assistant secretary of
the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, next described the historical
importance of the 1967 war, as Israel and the Arabs today make
painful choices. Repeatedly referring to Palestinian terrorism,
he neglected Israel's brutal attacks on Palestinian civilians,
although he did say that Israeli settlement activity in Arab land
captured in 1967 must stop. Satterfield's remarks dampened aud-
ience expectations for an even-handed U.S. approach to peacemaking.
According to trilogy editor Dr. Harriet Schwar, her department
took 26 years to compile this 1,100-page history of U.S. policy in
the Middle East, weeding through documents culled from the White
House, State Department, CIA, NSA, Navy and other U.S. government
records. The most important documents have now been released,
Schwar said, with only a few not declassified and a few excised.
As for Israel's attack on its ally's ship, Schwar said her
staff found no evidence that the U.S. had overheard Israel's or-
ders to attack the LIBERTY, or any indication that there ever had
been any such recordings.
Dr. David Robarge of the Central Intelligence Agency's history
staff was proud of the CIA's accurate analysis and unpoliticized
intelligence in 1967. U.S. foreign policy mainly consisted of
keeping out of the Arab-Israeli war, he said, in order to avoid a
larger confrontation with the Soviet Union. As tensions rose in
the region, Israel had begged for U.S. arms and assistance, claim-
ing to be the underdog. But CIA intelligence contradicted this
claim, indicating Israel would quickly win a war with Arab states
without U.S. assistance.
According to University of Arizona Professor Charles Smith,
the Johnson administration was well aware that Israel fired the
war's first shots. Egypt had been about to send a delegation to
Washington, DC to make peace -- but Israel wanted U.S. sympathy,
as well as Arab territory. Had the Egyptian delegation met with
U.S. officials, Israel would have had no justification to attack.
Johnson's administration, Smith explained, believed that once
Israel had conquered Arab territory, the Jewish state would be
able to negotiate a lasting peace settlement from a position of
strength.
Dr. David Hatch, technical director at the Center for Cryptol-
ogic History, began his remarks on the LIBERTY controversy by
saying, "The good news is that information long sought by re-
searchers is now out -- and the bad news is that it does not set-
tle it." For three and a half decades the NSA withheld trans-
cripts from an intercept of Israeli helicopter pilots speaking
with air controllers and puzzling over the identity of the LIBER-
TY -- because, Hatch said, they didn't know it was important.
The pilots were told to identify the ship, and take any English-
speaking survivors to one place and Egyptians to another.
Next to speak was Judge A. Jay Cristol, whose recent book,
THE LIBERTY INCIDENT: THE 1967 ATTACK ON THE U.S. NAVY SPY SHIP,
was described by one retired government official in the audience
as a "brief for a guilty client: Israel." Cristol asked the
audience to applaud two LIBERTY survivors in the audience, his
"friends" Joe Lentini and Phil Tourney. (In the all-too-brief 15
minutes allotted for questions, the survivors denied being Cris-
tol's friends.) Cristol spent his 15 minutes of fame listing
real or imagined fans of his book.
Eventually the bankruptcy court judge turned to Admiral Isaac
C. Kidd's Naval Court of Inquiry, which concluded that Israel's
attack on the LIBERTY was a mistake. Cristol acknowledged the
recent declaration by Captain Ward Boston, the former U.S. Navy
attorney who helped Kidd investigate the attack. This document
was submitted to State Department panel organizers, but had not
been mentioned until that point. Alison Weir, founder of If
Americans Knew, passed out copies of the declaration to members
of the audience.
Boston states that, despite overwhelming evidence to the con-
trary, he and the admiral had been ordered to make a false report
and say the attack was an accident. Cristol lambasted Boston
both for breaking his oath to tell the truth in court and for
dishonoring the name of Admiral Kidd, who was another of Cris-
tol's "friends," as evidenced by a signed photo hanging in the
judge's office. The case on the LIBERTY should be closed, Cris-
tol argued, because every investigation has concluded the attack
was an accident.
Like a breath of fresh air, investigative journalist James
Bamford took his turn at the podium. He gave a concise account
of the "planned and deliberate" attack on the LIBERTY and the
subsequent cover-up, comparing it to Iran-Contra and other scan-
dals Bamford has investigated over the years. "I wouldn't be in
business if the government didn't cover things up," he said.
He expressed indignation that two of the panelists selected by
the U.S. State Department represented Israel, while no one was
there to represent American LIBERTY survivors.
Scoffing at claims that Israelis believed the ship was an
Egyptian horse carrier, Bamford cited a TV interview with the
Israeli who was tasked to identify the ship in JANE'S FIGHTING
SHIP manual. He then proceeded to read the hard-hitting Boston
declaration.
Israel intentionally tried to sink the LIBERTY, Bamford argued,
to cover up the massacre of Egyptian prisoners of war in the Sinai.
President Johnson's administration then hid the facts to avoid
harming ties with Israel.
Bamford, whose book BODY OF SECRETS includes a chapter on the
LIBERTY, charged that there never has been an independent invest-
igation of the attack -- in sharp contrast to painstaking, if in-
conclusive, investigations after attacks on the USS COLE, U.S. em-
bassies, or the Khobar Towers. Israel investigated the attack,
Bamford acknowledged, but said that was like asking Enron to in-
vestigate itself. He concluded by calling for a full investigation
of the attack on the LIBERTY while those who were there could still
tell their story.
Dr. Michael Oren, author of SIX DAYS OF WAR: JUNE 1967 AND THE
MAKING OF THE MODERN MIDDLE EAST, said he'd hoped his research
into hundreds of pages of Israeli documents would provide the last
word. Oren, who works for the Jerusalem-based Shalem Center, said
he sympathized with LIBERTY survivors because he, too, had sur-
vived a tragic "friendly fire incident" when he was a paratrooper
with the Israeli army. He also noted that in 1967 the U.S. en-
dured 5,000 friendly fire incidents in Vietnam.
Oren shifted the blame for the LIBERTY "accident" directly onto
the shoulders of Washington, DC, because the U.S. government
didn't know the ship was still in the area. The National Security
agancy should have notified Israel that its spy ship was in inter-
national waters nearby, Oren charged.
Numerous Israeli overflights observed by sunbathing LIBERTY
survivors prior to theattack were made by Israeli cargo planes,
not surveillance planes, Oren claimed, and therefore Israel had
no reports that the ship was in the area. According to Oren, no
Israeli planes had noted the ship's American flag or the huge
Latin -- not Arabic -- letters on the hull.
The Israeli author -- who sounds like he was born and bred in
this country -- then stretched attendees' credulity by saying the
marker noting the LIBERTY as a friendly vessel had inexplicably
been removed from the Israeli war board. Oren claimed that
Israeli fighters were so exhausted by the war they may have com-
mitted unfortunate errors, but the they certainly weren't crim-
inally negligent.
Oren characterized Americans who still believe the attack on
the LIBERTY was intentional as belonging to anti-Israel hate
groups or as religious extremists. It would be impossible to
hush up evidence of Israeli wrongdoing, he claimed, due to the
"porousness of Israeli society."
Oren, too, called for an independent investigation -- although
he promised nothing new will turn up. The U.S. would have to
answer to why a lightly armed U.S. spy ship was sent into a war
zone, he warned.
Dr. Smith summarized the common ground, disagreements and
flaws in panelists' interpretation of historical documents.
There is still evidence, he suggested, that the government is
reluctant to reveal.
Newspaper accounts of the conference concluded that Israel and
the U.S. share the blame for Israel's attack on the LIBERTY.
Although the conference was broadcast live on C-SPAN 2, most
mainstream media reports did not include the very moving comments
and questions posed by LIBERTY survivors in the audience. Joe
Lentini said he was appalled to hear "gentlemen who were in
diapers in 1967" justify what happened to his shipmates. When
panel moderator Susser asked Joseph Lentini to ask one question
instead of making a comment, Lentini responded there were so many
half-truths and misstatements spoken at the conference, he didn't
know which question to ask first.
Josie Toth Linen, whose brother Stephen was killed as he tried
to identify the marking on the attacking planes, said she had
questions about how Israelis knew which frequencies to jam if they
didn't know the ship was American. She wondered who recalled the
planes sent from the 6th Fleet to help the ship. She asked about
the think tank that financed Oren's book... until an irate Susser
abruptly cut her questions short and brought the session to a
close.
The moderator's treatment of survivors bordered on abusive,
according to former Congressman Paul Findley, who watched the
session from his home in Illinois. Frustrated audience members
shouted, "Let's hear from another survivor [referring to USS
LIBERTY Survivor Association President Phil Tourney, who was wait-
ing to speak], one more survivor! Two Israelis and one survivor
.... one more survivor has the right to talk."
Others angrily accused the State Department of helping cover
up Israel's actions. Few of those in the long line at the mic-
rophone had the opportunity to pose their questions in the 15
minutes allotted.
As attendees filed out, journalists swarmed around survivors
and their supporters, who finally were given the chance to
speak -- even if not by representatives of their own government.
A young man wearing a YARMULKE was heard to comment, "I can't
believe people are still so upset after all these years!"
While LIBERTY survivors and their supporters were prepared
and eager to present their evidence and eyewitness accounts of
the Israeli attack on a lightly armed American intelligence ship,
they instead were witness to a cover-up in action by the U.S.
State Department.
Americans who had the chance to watch the hearing might won-
der why their government is afraid to release every document
in its possession, no matter how damaging, and hold a congress-
ional investigation in order to set the historica record straight
-- once and for all.

DECLARATION OF WARD BOSTON, JR., CAPTAIN, JAGC, USN (RET.)

I, WARD BOSTON, JR. DO DECLARE THAT THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IS TRUE AND
COMPLETE:
1. FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS, I HAVE REMAINED SILENT ON THE TOPIC OF USS LIBERTY.
I AM A MILITARY MAN AND WHEN ORDERS COME IN FROM THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE AND
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, I FOLLOW THEM.
2. HOWEVER, RECENT ATTEMPTS TO REWRITE HISTORY COMPEL ME TO SHARE THE TRUTH.
3. IN JUNE OF 1967, WHILE SERVING AS A CAPTAIN IN THE Judge Advocate General
Corps, Department of the Navy, I WAS ASSIGNED AS SENIOR LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THE
NAVY'S COURT OF INQUIRY INTO THE BRUTAL ATTACK ON USS LIBERTY, WHICH HAD
OCCURRED ON JUNE 8TH.
4. THE LATE ADMIRAL ISAAC C. KIDD, PRESIDENT OF THE COURT, AND I WERE GIVEN
ONLY ONE WEEK TO GATHER EVIDENCE FOR THE NAVY'S OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE
ATTACK, DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE BOTH HAD ESTIMATED THAT A PROPER COURT OF
INQUIRY INTO AN ATTACK OF THIS MAGNITUDE WOULD TAKE AT LEAST SIX MONTHS TO
CONDUCT.
5. ADMIRAL JOHN S. MCCAIN, JR., THEN COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, NAVAL FORCES EUROPE
(CINCUSNAVEUR), AT HIS HEADQUARTERS IN LONDON, HAD CHARGED ADMIRAL KIDD (IN A
LETTER DATED JUNE 10, 1967) TO
"INQUIRE INTO ALL THE PERTINENT FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES LEADING TO AND
CONNECTED WITH THE ARMED ATTACK; DAMAGE RESULTING THEREFROM; AND DEATHS OF AND
INJURIES TO NAVAL PERSONNEL."
6. DESPITE THE SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME WE WERE GIVEN, WE GATHERED A VAST AMOUNT OF
EVIDENCE, INCLUDING HOURS OF HEARTBREAKING TESTIMONY FROM THE YOUNG SURVIVORS.
7. THE EVIDENCE WAS CLEAR. BOTH ADMIRAL KIDD AND I BELIEVED WITH CERTAINTY THAT
THIS ATTACK, WHICH KILLED 34 AMERICAN SAILORS AND INJURED 172 OTHERS, WAS A
DELIBERATE EFFORT TO SINK AN AMERICAN SHIP AND MURDER ITS ENTIRE CREW. EACH
EVENING, AFTER HEARING TESTIMONY ALL DAY, WE OFTEN SPOKE OUR PRIVATE THOUGHTS
CONCERNING WHAT WE HAD SEEN AND HEARD. I RECALL ADMIRAL KIDD REPEATEDLY
REFERRING TO THE ISRAELI FORCES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ATTACK AS "MURDEROUS
*******S." IT WAS OUR SHARED BELIEF, BASED ON THE DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE AND
TESTIMONY WE RECEIVED FIRST HAND, THAT THE ISRAELI ATTACK WAS PLANNED AND
DELIBERATE, AND COULD NOT POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT.
8. I AM CERTAIN THAT THE ISRAELI PILOTS THAT UNDERTOOK THE ATTACK, AS WELL AS
THEIR SUPERIORS, WHO HAD ORDERED THE ATTACK, WERE WELL AWARE THAT THE SHIP WAS
AMERICAN.
9. I SAW THE FLAG, WHICH HAD VISIBLY IDENTIFIED THE SHIP AS AMERICAN, RIDDLED
WITH BULLET HOLES, AND HEARD TESTIMONY THAT MADE IT CLEAR THAT THE ISRAELIS
INTENDED THERE BE NO SURVIVORS. 10. NOT ONLY DID THE ISRAELIS ATTACK THE SHIP
WITH NAPALM, GUNFIRE, AND MISSILES, ISRAELI TORPEDO BOATS MACHINE-GUNNED THREE
LIFEBOATS THAT HAD BEEN LAUNCHED IN AN ATTEMPT BY THE CREW TO SAVE THE MOST
SERIOUSLY WOUNDED - A WAR CRIME.
11. ADMIRAL KIDD AND I BOTH FELT IT NECESSARY TO TRAVEL TO ISRAEL TO INTERVIEW
THE ISRAELIS WHO TOOK PART IN THE ATTACK. ADMIRAL KIDD TELEPHONED ADMIRAL
MCCAIN TO DISCUSS MAKING ARRANGEMENTS. ADMIRAL KIDD LATER TOLD ME THAT ADMIRAL
MCCAIN WAS ADAMANT THAT WE WERE NOT TO TRAVEL TO ISRAEL OR CONTACT THE ISRAELIS
CONCERNING THIS MATTER.
12. REGRETTABLY, WE DID NOT RECEIVE INTO EVIDENCE AND THE COURT DID NOT
CONSIDER ANY OF THE MORE THAN SIXTY WITNESS DECLARATIONS FROM MEN WHO HAD BEEN
HOSPITALIZED AND WERE UNABLE TO TESTIFY IN PERSON.
13. I AM OUTRAGED AT THE EFFORTS OF THE APOLOGISTS FOR ISRAEL IN THIS COUNTRY
TO CLAIM THAT THIS ATTACK WAS A CASE OF "MISTAKEN IDENTITY."
14. IN PARTICULAR, THE RECENT PUBLICATION OF JAY CRISTOL'S BOOK, THE LIBERTY
INCIDENT, TWISTS THE FACTS AND MISREPRESENTS THE VIEWS OF THOSE OF US WHO
INVESTIGATED THE ATTACK.
15. IT IS CRISTOL'S INSIDIOUS ATTEMPT TO WHITEWASH THE FACTS THAT HAS PUSHED ME
TO SPEAK OUT.
16. I KNOW FROM PERSONAL CONVERSATIONS I HAD WITH ADMIRAL KIDD THAT PRESIDENT
LYNDON JOHNSON AND SECRETARY OF DEFENSE ROBERT MCNAMARA ORDERED HIM TO CONCLUDE
THAT THE ATTACK WAS A CASE OF "MISTAKEN IDENTITY" DESPITE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE
TO THE CONTRARY.
17. ADMIRAL KIDD TOLD ME, AFTER RETURNING FROM WASHINGTON, D.C. THAT HE HAD
BEEN ORDERED TO SIT DOWN WITH TWO CIVILIANS FROM EITHER THE WHITE HOUSE OR THE
DEFENSE DEPARTMENT, AND REWRITE PORTIONS OF THE COURT'S FINDINGS.
18. ADMIRAL KIDD ALSO TOLD ME THAT HE HAD BEEN ORDERED TO "PUT THE LID" ON
EVERYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH THE ATTACK ON USS LIBERTY. WE WERE NEVER TO SPEAK
OF IT AND WE WERE TO CAUTION EVERYONE ELSE INVOLVED THAT THEY COULD NEVER SPEAK
OF IT AGAIN.
19. I HAVE NO REASON TO DOUBT THE ACCURACY OF THAT STATEMENT AS I KNOW THAT THE
COURT OF INQUIRY TRANSCRIPT THAT HAS BEEN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC IS NOT THE
SAME ONE THAT I CERTIFIED AND SENT OFF TO WASHINGTON.
20. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE IT WAS NECESSARY, DUE TO THE EXIGENCIES OF TIME, TO
HAND CORRECT AND INITIAL A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF PAGES. I HAVE EXAMINED THE
RELEASED VERSION OF THE TRANSCRIPT AND I DID NOT SEE ANY PAGES THAT BORE MY
HAND CORRECTIONS AND INITIALS. ALSO, THE ORIGINAL DID NOT HAVE ANY DELIBERATELY
BLANK PAGES, AS THE RELEASED VERSION DOES. FINALLY, THE TESTIMONY OF LT.
PAINTER CONCERNING THE DELIBERATE MACHINE GUNNING OF THE LIFE RAFTS BY THE
ISRAELI TORPEDO BOAT CREWS, WHICH I DISTINCTLY RECALL BEING GIVEN AT THE COURT
OF INQUIRY AND INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL TRANSCRIPT, IS NOW MISSING AND HAS BEEN
EXCISED.
21. FOLLOWING THE CONCLUSION OF THE COURT OF INQUIRY, ADMIRAL KIDD AND I
REMAINED IN CONTACT. THOUGH WE NEVER SPOKE OF THE ATTACK IN PUBLIC, WE DID
DISCUSS IT BETWEEN OURSELVES, ON OCCASION. EVERY TIME WE DISCUSSED THE ATTACK,
ADMIRAL KIDD WAS ADAMANT THAT IT WAS A DELIBERATE, PLANNED ATTACK ON AN
AMERICAN SHIP.
22. IN 1990, I RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL FROM JAY CRISTOL, WHO WANTED TO
INTERVIEW ME CONCERNING THE FUNCTIONING OF THE COURT OF INQUIRY. I TOLD HIM
THAT I WOULD NOT SPEAK TO HIM ON THAT SUBJECT AND PREPARED TO HANG UP THE
TELEPHONE. CRISTOL THEN BEGAN ASKING ME ABOUT MY PERSONAL BACKGROUND AND OTHER,
NON-COURT OF INQUIRY RELATED MATTERS. I ENDEAVORED TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS
AND POLITELY EXTRICATE MYSELF FROM THE CONVERSATION. CRISTOL CONTINUED TO
RETURN TO THE SUBJECT OF THE COURT OF INQUIRY, WHICH I REFUSED TO DISCUSS WITH
HIM. FINALLY, I SUGGESTED THAT HE CONTACT ADMIRAL KIDD AND ASK HIM ABOUT THE
COURT OF INQUIRY.
23. SHORTLY AFTER MY CONVERSATION WITH CRISTOL, I RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL
FROM ADMIRAL KIDD, INQUIRING ABOUT CRISTOL AND WHAT HE WAS UP TO. THE ADMIRAL
SPOKE OF CRISTOL IN DISPARAGING TERMS AND EVEN OPINED THAT "CRISTOL MUST BE AN
ISRAELI AGENT." I DON'T KNOW IF HE MEANT THAT LITERALLY OR IT WAS HIS WAY OF
EXPRESSING HIS DISGUST FOR CRISTOL'S HIGHLY PARTISAN, PRO-ISRAELI APPROACH TO
QUESTIONS INVOLVING USS LIBERTY.
24. AT NO TIME DID I EVER HEAR ADMIRAL KIDD SPEAK OF CRISTOL OTHER THAN IN
HIGHLY DISPARAGING TERMS. I FIND CRISTOL'S CLAIMS OF A "CLOSE FRIENDSHIP" WITH
ADMIRAL KIDD TO BE UTTERLY INCREDIBLE. I ALSO FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THE
STATEMENTS HE ATTRIBUTES TO ADMIRAL KIDD, CONCERNING THE ATTACK ON USS LIBERTY.

25. SEVERAL YEARS LATER, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CRISTOL THAT CONTAINED WHAT
HE PURPORTED TO BE HIS NOTES OF OUR PRIOR CONVERSATION. THESE "NOTES" WERE
GROSSLY INCORRECT AND BORE NO RESEMBLANCE IN REALITY TO THAT DISCUSSION. I FIND
IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THESE "NOTES" WERE THE PRODUCT OF A MISTAKE, RATHER
THAN AN ATTEMPT TO DECEIVE. I INFORMED CRISTOL THAT I DISAGREED WITH HIS
RECOLLECTION OF OUR CONVERSATION AND THAT HE WAS WRONG. CRISTOL MADE SEVERAL
ATTEMPTS TO ARRANGE FOR THE TWO OF US TO MEET IN PERSON AND TALK BUT I ALWAYS
FOUND WAYS TO AVOID DOING THIS. I DID NOT WISH TO MEET WITH CRISTOL AS WE HAD
NOTHING IN COMMON AND I DID NOT TRUST HIM.
26. CONTRARY TO THE MISINFORMATION PRESENTED BY CRISTOL AND OTHERS, IT IS
IMPORTANT FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT IT IS CLEAR

Subj: Admiral Moorer on Jewish Political Power
Date: 2/11/04 1:28:24 PM Pacific Standard Time
From: RePorterNoteBook


Chris,

I just read your Newsmax.com article/tribute to Admiral Moorer via the
following URL:

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/arti.../7/24328.shtml

However, I noticed that you didn't mention what Admiral Moorer did in his last
days (years) of his life with regard to blowing the lid off the ongoing USS
Liberty cover-up which is conveyed via the following URL:

Also, I noticed how you left out the warning that he conveyed below as well:

Admiral Moorer on the Jews

Here is a quote from a U. S. Navy Admiral, about something that we say so often
that we get tired of repeating ourselves.

Note the last sentence. This would be called "hate" by many people today,
especially suburban soccer-moms and brainwashed high-school students.

------------------------------------------

"I've never seen a President -- I don't care who he is -- stand up to [the
Jews] ... They always get what they want. The Israelis know what is going on
all the time. I got to the point where I wouldn't write anything down. If the
American people understood what a grip these people have got on our government,
they would rise up in arms."

-Admiral Thomas Moorer, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,

From Richard H. Curtiss's "A Changing Image: American Perceptions of the
Arab-Israeli Dispute." American Educational Trust, 1986, p. 267.

Chris, since you mentioned Hutchison Whampoa in your tribute to Admiral Moorer,
why haven't you included discussion about Richard Perle's connection to such
which is conveyed in the following piece?:

Guardian and the Independent. We have nothing comparable in the U.S. -Paul]

"The war in Iraq was conceived by 25 neoconservative
intellectuals, most of them Jewish, who are pushing
President Bush to change the course of history."

-Israeli Journalist Ari Shavit
http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/pa...?itemNo=280279

These are difficult days for the neo-conservative
hawks in the Bush administration. Their plans for
global domination are unravelling as quickly as Bush's
poll ratings are slipping, more and more pressure is
building from the press and public to expose the lies
that took America and the UK to war with Iraq; and now
a company that owns three of the neo-cons major
mouthpieces is in deep trouble and Richard Perle and
friends are desperately trying to keep control of the
company.

Hollinger International, which owns the Jerusalem
Post, Chicago Sun Times and the UK's Daily and Sunday
Telegraph, stepped up its battle with former Chief
Executive Lord Conrad Black on January 26th, filing a
lawsuit aimed at thwarting Black's bid to sell a
controlling stake in the newspaper publisher to
Britain's billionaire Barclay brothers. (Excuse the
alliteration). The Chicago-based owner of the Daily
and Sunday Telegraph said a committee of its
independent directors, together with interim CEO
Gordon Paris, also adopted a shareholder-rights plan,
or "poison pill", that would be triggered if control
changes hands without board approval. Sources close to
Hollinger have intimated that the lawsuit was filed at
the insistence of four other board members of
Hollinger apart from CEO Paris. Those four others are
believed to be Hollinger co-CEO and board member Peter
White; Executive Vice President Jack Boultbee; board
member Henry Kissinger and George W Bush's chief
foreign policy advisor and Hollinger International
director Richard Perle.

It is believed the committee would prefer to see
ownership of Hollinger in American hands, and has
mounted a campaign to persuade the likes of William
Kristol, editor of the right wing Weekly Standard, a
Murdoch published paper, and other wealthy businessmen
friendly to the Bush administration to form a
consortium to bid against the Barclay brothers for
control of the Hollinger empire. Since last year there
have been serious investigations into alleged misdeeds
at Black's Hollinger International, and these have
thrown up some interesting connections between Lord
Black, Hollinger and Richard Perle. Perle, whom some
refer to as "The Prince of Darkness", is considered to
be the "intellectual guru" of the hardline right wing
neo-conservative hawks in the Bush administration. He
has the "ear" of the President and is an advocate of
America using its military superiority to
"democratise" those countries around the world who
don't hold to American interests and principles.
However, examining just what Perle's interests and
principles are and what he has done and said over the
years is extremely revealing, as it appears there are
a great many conflicts of interest and even possible
treachery in Mr. Perle's past.

Let's start with Perle's work with the Project for a
New American Century (PNAC). Here is an organisation
that, as far back as 1997, was advocating the ousting
of Saddam Hussein, the take over of Iraqi oil, and the
eventual American take-over of oil in Iran and Saudi
Arabia. They called for the defeat of Syria and North
Korea and eventual American world domination by
military power.

In other words, Perle, along with the likes of Paul
Wolfowitz, Dov Zakheim, Douglas Feith, John Bolton,
Elliott Abrams, Dick Cheney and other founding members
of the PNAC now ensconced in the White House, was
calling on America to start a "total, continual war"
on those it considered were acting against America's
interests. As George W Bush said: "You're either with
us or against us".

John Pilger, the eminent British journalist, wrote the
following about Richard Perle: "I interviewed Perle
when he was advising Reagan; and when he spoke about
"total war", I mistakenly dismissed him as mad. He
recently used the term again in describing America's
"war on terror" saying: "This is total war. We are
fighting a variety of enemies. There are lots of them
out there. All this talk about first we are going to
do Afghanistan, then we will do Iraq... this is
entirely the wrong way to go about it. If we just let
our vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it
entirely and we don't try to piece together clever
diplomacy, but just wage a total war... our children
will sing great songs about us years from now."

Decide for yourself; completely, barking mad;
frighteningly dangerous; or both.

During his career Perle has, somewhat disingenuously,
laid claim to the moral high ground, telling anyone
who would listen that he was speaking and acting on
behalf of America's best interests. Yet a quick
investigation of Perle's past shows that he has other
interests at heart, some of which appear to be more
important than those close to home. Indeed, Perle
seems to be somewhat ambiguous with regards to just
exactly "where" he considers home to be.

Perle has an M.A. in political science from Princeton
University and a B.A. in international relations from
the University of Southern California. During the
Carter administration Perle was part of the "Committee
on the Present Danger", which believed that the US was
about to be overrun by the Soviet Union. The committee
advocated huge military budgets and was totally
opposed to any and all arms treaties with the Soviets.


He was a member of the U.S. Senate staff between 1969
and 1980 and during this time Perle was expelled from
Senator Henry (Soop) Jackson's office after the
National Security Agency caught him passing highly-
classified National Security information to the
Israeli Embassy. He was granted a pardon for these
un-American (treasonous?) activities by George H W
Bush. He later worked for the Israeli weapons firm,
Soltam. From 1981 until 1987 he was assistant
secretary of defence for international security policy
in the Reagan administration, where he once again
opposed arms-control agreements with the Soviet Union.


He has been one of US deputy defence secretary Paul
Wolfowitz's best friends since 1969, as well as the
mentor of Douglas Feith, the under secretary of
defence whose Office of Special Plans oversaw
preparations for the Iraq invasion and the postwar
occupation. A longtime ally of both Defence Secretary
Donald Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney, Perle
was described by the Washington Post last year as
enjoying "profound influence over Bush policies".

Since 1987 Perle has served as Resident Fellow of the
pro Israeli American Enterprise Institute for Public
Policy Research. He returned to the US administration
under Bush Jr. in 2001 as chairman of the Pentagon's
Defence Policy Board, a post he was forced to resign
over his links to the bankrupt telecoms company Global
Crossing. Though he resigned as chairman of the
Defence Policy Board, he still attends their meetings.


Now comes an interesting connection between Canadian
born British peer Lord Conrad Black, Hollinger
International and this so called "Prince of Darkness".
Perle is co-chairman of the investment bank Morgan
Crucible. He is also chairman and chief executive
officer of Hollinger Digital Inc. and a director of
the Jerusalem Post. Both these companies are currently
owned by the embattled Lord Black, whose Hollinger
Corporation, which owns the Jerusalem Post, Chicago
Sun Times and the UK's Daily and Sunday Telegraph is
currently under investigation regarding alleged
bribery, money-laundering, misuse of corporate assets
and unauthorised payments to Lord Black and former
directors of Hollinger International. The companies
regulatory filing to the Security Exchange Commission
also disclosed that Hollinger made a $2.5m investment
in Trireme Associates LLC, a venture-capital firm
founded by Richard Perle which had Perle's good friend
Henry Kissinger as a director. The company is the
general partner of Trireme Partners LP, a
venture-capital fund co-managed by Mr. Perle and
Gerald P. Hillman, who also served on the Pentagon's
Defence Policy Board.

In December of last year, it was revealed that Perle
lobbied on behalf of Boeing for an $18 billion
government contract to provide air tankers to the
Pentagon. In exchange, Boeing made a $20 million
"investment" in Trireme Partners. Mr. Perle holds a 5%
stake in Trireme and Lord Black is a member of
Trireme's strategic advisory board. Mr. Kissinger
served on the advisory board until this year, when he
resigned because he had reached the firm's mandatory
retirement age, according to Mr. Hillman. Hollinger's
internal investigators are also looking at an
investment by Hollinger's digital unit in a company
that includes Mr. Perle as a shareholder. According to
people familiar with the matter, Hollinger Digital
invested $14 million in a U.K. based technology firm
called Cambridge Display Technology (C.D.T.). Mr.
Perle was a co-chairman of Hollinger Digital and was
paid a salary by the company to help find investments.
The investment, confirmed by C.D.T. Press Officer
Terry Nicklan, was part of a syndicate led by Kelso
Co. and Gerald P Hillman's company Hillman Capital
that acquired control of C.D.T. for about $130
million. Mr. Hillman confirmed that Mr. Perle also
bought a stake in Cambridge Display Technology.

Mr. Perle also served as a director of GeoBiotics,
Inc. from 1996 to 2000 and currently serves as a
director of E.Certify and NAPRO Biotherapeutics, Inc.
He is also a director of the British software company
Autonomy, Inc. Autonomy supplies the US Department of
Defence, the Department of Homeland Security, and
Britain's GCHQ and MI6 with tools that enable the
"bugging" of computer communications. When the New
Yorker's Seymour Hersh documented Perle's business
dealings in the Middle East on behalf of the venture
capital firm Trireme, Perle threatened to sue the
journalist, saying that he was the "the closest thing
American journalism has to a terrorist."

Hersh's article, "Lunch with the Chairman," discussed
possible conflicts of interest resulting from Perle's
dual role as chairman of the Defence Policy Board and
as a partner for Trireme, a company that invests in
defence-related industries. Hersh recounts how Perle
met with Adnan Khashoggi, the Saudi billionaire arms
dealer, and Harb Zuhair, an Iraqi born Saudi
businessman, in early 2003. Various people interviewed
by Hersh, including Khashoggi and Zuhair, indicated
that Perle and Trireme seemed to be sending the
message that in return for Saudi investment backing,
the "Chairman" would use his Pentagon connections to
influence US policy.

This is perhaps not the first time Perle has crossed
paths with Kashoggi. During the Reagan Administration,
when Perle was assistant secretary of defence for
international security policy, Khashoggi was one of
the middlemen between Oliver North, the White House,
and the mullahs in Iran in what became known as the
Iran-Contra scandal. Kashoggi was, with US government
approval, supplying Iran with weapons in return for
American hostages, whilst at the same time arming the
Contra guerillas in Nicaragua in their fight against
the democratically elected Sandanista government. A
congressional investigation revealed that Khashoggi
had borrowed much of the money for the weapons from
the disgraced Bank of Credit and Commerce
International (B.C.C.I.), whose collapse, in 1991,
defrauded thousands of depositors and led to years of
inquiry and litigation. Investigations revealed that
B.C.C.I. was involved in a massive money laundering
operation and as a conduit for illegal financial
transfers, many involving terrorist organisations such
as al-Qa'eda.

Soon after the Hersh piece was published, columnist
Maureen Dowd and other journalists documented Perle's
relationship to Global Crossing, a bankrupt
communications giant and defence contractor that was
seeking Pentagon permission to be sold to the Asian
company Hutchinson Wampoa. This is the same Hutchinson
Wampoa whose interests in Panama sparked a loud and
nasty round of conservative hand-wringing in the US
about a Chinese attempt to take control of the Panama
Canal. Although Perle denied any wrongdoing, he
admitted through his attorney that he was hired by
Global Crossing to consult with a reluctant Defence
Department about the deal.

Perle originally came to government from the the
American Enterprise Institute (AEI) the Jewish
Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA). There
are those who claim he has Israeli citizenship and is
an agent of Mossad, the feared Israeli secret service,
whose motto is "By way of deception, thou shalt do
war".

Now, Perle has published a new book, along with fellow
AEI and JINSA member David Frum, the Bush speech
writer who coined the phrase "Axis of Evil". In the
book, entitled "An End to Evil: How to Win the War on
Terror" Perle and Frum demand that any talks with
North Korea require the "complete and immediate
abandonment of its nuclear programme". The book urges
that America "Prepare to launch pre-emptive strikes
against North Korea's nuclear facilities unless
Pyongyang "immediately surrenders all of its nuclear
material, closes its missile bases and agrees to the
permanent presence of international inspectors". It
goes on to call for a "Cuba-style military blockade
and overt preparations for war, including the rapid
pullback of US forces from the inter-Korean border so
that they move out of range of North Korean
artillery".

Such action will "prompt China to oust its ally, Kim
Jong-il, and install a saner regime in North Korea".

In what they call a "manual for victory", the two
authors describe an extremely dangerous world in which
the greatest current evil, "militant Islam", can be
found everywhere. Militant Islam "seeks to overthrow
our civilization and remake the nations of the West
into Islamic societies imposing on the whole world its
religion and law", write the authors. The book
advocates cutting off arms supplies and the flow of
oil from Iraq to Syria, and pursuing suspected
"terrorists" into Syrian territory, unless Damascus
implements a thorough "Western reorientation" of its
policies, economy and political system.

It also seeks to help "dissidents" overthrow the
government of Iran - "the regime must go" say Perle
and Frum.

It demands countries "Cease criticizing Israel for
taking actions against Hamas and Hezbollah. The
distinction between Islamic terrorism against Israel,
on the one hand, and Islamic terrorism against the
United States and Europe, on the other, cannot be
sustained."

Perle and Frum also urge Mr Bush to "tell the truth
about Saudi Arabia". Wealthy Saudis, some of them
royal princes, fund al-Qa'eda, they write. They claim
the Saudi government backs "terror-tainted Islamic
organisations spreading their extremist version of
Islam throughout the

Muslim world and into Europe and North America".
However, no mention is made in the book of Bush's
connections to the Saudi princes and indeed the Bush
family's very close ties to the bin Laden family
through George H W Bush's directorship of the
secretive Carlyle Group, an investment firm managing
some $14 billion in assets, including stakes in a
number of defence-related companies. On September
27th. 2001, The Wall Street Journal reported that:

"George H.W. Bush, the father of President Bush, works
for the bin Laden family business in Saudi Arabia
through the Carlyle Group, an international investment
consulting firm. The senior Bush has met with the bin
Laden family at least twice."

It also seems that Perle has forgotten his connections
to Adnan Khashoggi, the Saudi billionaire arms dealer
and Iraqi born Saudi Harb Zuhair with whom he has had
dealings. The word duplicity comes to mind.

Finally, in a demand that rivals Bush's assertion that
the French have no word for "entrepreneur" the book
calls for tough action against France. "We should
force European governments to choose between Paris and
Washington," it states.

So, here we have a man who is advocating "total and
continual" war against anyone who dares to speak out
against the interests of the United States of America
and its "friends". They believe China will cave in to
American threats against North Korea and turn against
their long term friend Kim Jong-il. Perle honestly
believes that America, already militarily lacking, can
overthrow the regimes in Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia
and bring "American democracy" to these countries by
military force without so much as a whisper from other
Islamic countries. And in a final act of revenge and
hubris, Perle threatens France, and by extension all
of Europe, with making a choice between Washington or
Paris. If Europe decides on Paris, what's Perle's
advice? Nuke Marseilles?

Given that Perle, who said Americans would be welcomed
as "liberators" in Iraq, has got things so badly wrong
about that country, does anyone believe that he's got
it right about Iran, Korea, Saudi Arabia and Syria?
Perhaps people are now seeing that Perle is not quite
the "intellectual" some portray him to be, just
another mad warmonger who wants to "bring on"
Armageddon. He argues for America to sacrifice its
young people on the altar of US imperialism for the
benefit of a small group of ruthless, greedy,
megalomaniacs who have continually lied to the
American public and do not have the best interests of
the United States as their prime objective.

Throughout the entire diatribe of "An End to Evil: How
to Win the War on Terror" there is no mention of
perhaps the one thing that could de- escalate this
so-called "war on terror" and perhaps begin to heal
the wounds between Islam and the West. Surely an
"intellectual" would be able to understand the main
source of the problems between Islam and the West. But
no. No mention of Israel's continuing belligerence
against Palestinians, no mention of Israel's huge
dividing wall, no mention of Israel's continued
expansion of it's settlements and no mention of the
implementation of the road map for peace. Just total,
continual war.

John Pilger said he "mistakenly" thought Richard Perle
was mad. I agree. What Richard Perle is transcends
madness. This man wishes to extinguish perhaps four
billion people in a never ending total war against
those who disagree with American policies. The world
should beware Richard Perle and his friends. They are
the devils in the White House

"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an
invisible government owing no allegiance and
acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To
destroy this invisible government, to befoul the
unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt
politics is the first task of the statesmanship of
today." Theodore Roosevelt 1906.

====================
Professor F. Littell has said "You can't discuss the truth of the holocaust.
That is a distortion of the concept of free speech. The United States should
emulate West Germany, which outlaws such exercises."--Mind-boggling! Don't you

man! Don't you think?

An anti-Semite used to be someone who does not like Jews; now it is
