USS LIBERTY: WE HAVE THE SMOKING GUN!

USS LIBERTY: WE HAVE THE SMOKING GUN!

Liberty deniers continue to insist that, despite all the evidence, the attack
on our ship must have been a mistake. "Israel would not do such a thing to its
best friend," they insist. They persist in presenting silly arguments such as
"poor memory," "fog of war," and "transmitters were 1KC off frequency for a few
seconds." No serious researcher to our knowledge has ever bought into those
stories, yet they persist.
Recent claims by Liberty deniers, however, has brought a number of insiders out
of the closet. Several were revealed in the June 2003 issue of Naval Institute
Proceedings, which brought supporting statements from such senior intelligence
authorities as Oliver Kirby, Admiral Bobby Inman, former CIA Director Richard
Helms, General John Morrison and many others of unimpeachable stature. Yet the
deniers continue to deny reality.

We have known for years that communications between the attacking Israeli jets
and their headquarters were intercepted as the aircraft approached our ship.
The Israeli pilots were clearly told by their controllers to find and quickly
sink "the American ship" which was USS Liberty. Those communications were
almost simultaneously translated and broadcast from a US Air Force C130 near
the scene to an intelligence site at Crete where they were sent to Washington
and to other stations as "Critical Intelligence," the fastest and most secure
means available. Known as CRITICs, these reports routinely arrived in the White
House, State Department and Pentagon within ten minutes or less.

Thus Liberty's attackers were caught in the act and their treachery was known
to the highest levels of the US government even before the attack was
completed.

Now, thirty-six years later, people who saw those reports as they occurred find
that they can remain silent no longer.

Presented here is the first of several such reports to come. This one, from
former Air Force intelligence analyst Stephen Forslund, is presented in his own
words.

And here, a statement from former Air Force analyst James Ronald Gotcher, who
saw the same intercepts at an Air Force intelligence station in Vietnam.

Meanwhile, statements are being prepared from others who saw the same reports.
Those will soon be presented in these spaces.

Stay tuned!
