USS Liberty: Ward Boston is Right about Liberty Attack

Ward Boston is right about Liberty attack

Regarding "Ex-officer alleges cover-up in probe of spy ship attack,"
News, Feb. 17:

You can call it an "allegation" if you want, but it certainly happened exactly
as retired Navy Capt. Ward Boston said it did.I can assure you that Israel not
only attacked the U.S. Naval Security Group ship and killed American sailors,
but attacked again and again and again in a failed effort to sink the vessel,
which was clearly flying the American flag. Why? To cover up an ongoing
massacre of Egyptian soldiers upon which the ship was eavesdropping.It was a
futile effort and useless slaughter of American lives on the Israelis' part
because everything was also being recorded by a U.S. Air Force spy plane flying
above. Commander William L. McGonagle, the ship's captain, was later awarded
the Medal of Honor, the only recipient in history to receive it in a private,
secret ceremony.To play the apologist and claim that it was a "mistake," as
Judge Jay Cristol does in "The Liberty Incident," is a disgrace to the memory
of the many American sailors who died that day. As usual, given enough time,
the truth will normally out.
