So you don't there anything odd about US fighter jets on their way to
rescue the USS Liberty being called back to their ship? How about an
attack that lasted over an hour in daylight -- while the US flag was
flying, and mayday was sent over and over?

If not, then you're too stupid to know when you have been suckered.

Default Key Figure in USS Liberty Inquiry Dies

Navy attorney in USS Liberty investigation dies


By CHELSEA J. CARTER – June 18th, 2008



SAN DIEGO (AP) — Ward Boston, a former Navy attorney who helped
investigate the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty that killed 34
crewmen and years later said President Lyndon Johnson ordered that the
assault be ruled an accident, has died. He was 84.

Boston, a retired Navy captain from Coronado, Calif., died June 12 of
complications from pneumonia at a San Diego-area hospital, his wife,
Emma Boston, said Wednesday.

Boston was assigned as a legal adviser to a military board of inquiry
investigating the attack on the Liberty, an electronic-intelligence-
gathering ship that was cruising international waters off the Egyptian
coast on June 8, 1967. Israeli planes and torpedo boats opened fire on
the Liberty in the midst of the Israeli-Arab Six-Day War.

In addition to the 34 Americans killed, more than 170 were wounded.

Israel has long maintained that the attack was a case of mistaken
identity, an explanation that the Johnson administration did not
formally challenge. Israel claimed its forces thought the ship was an
Egyptian vessel and apologized to the United States.

After the attack, a Navy court of inquiry concluded there was
insufficient information to make a judgment about why Israel attacked
the ship, stopping short of assigning blame or determining that it was
an accident.

In 2002, Boston said Johnson and his defense secretary, Robert
McNamara, told those heading the Navy's inquiry to "conclude that the
attack was a case of 'mistaken identity' despite overwhelming evidence
to the contrary," according to a signed affidavit.

Boston said he kept his silence because he was a military man, and
"when orders come ... I follow them." He said he felt compelled to go
public following the publication of the book "The Liberty Incident,"
which concluded the attack was unintentional.

Boston said in a legal declaration that he was certain the Israel
pilots knew the Liberty, which clearly displayed American flags and
had markings in English instead of Arabic, was a U.S. Navy ship.

Ret. Adm. Thomas Moorer, a former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman who
investigated the attack as part of an independent panel he formed with
other former military officials, wrote in 1997 that he believed Israel
intentionally attacked the Liberty to conceal that it was preparing to
seize the Golan Heights from Syria.

A. Jay Cristol, a U.S. bankruptcy court judge who wrote "The Liberty
Incident," said in the book that 10 U.S. and three Israeli
investigations have found no evidence of any Israeli intent to attack
an American ship.

Boston is survived by his wife and three children.

Here is an excellent article about Captain Ward Boston which appeared
in the San Diego Union Tribune:

The sham of the Court of Inquiry is conveyed via the interview with
Captain Ward Boston in the article by Delinda Hanley of the Washington
Report of Middle East Affairs (scroll down to it at the following URL
as the treacherous Israeli attack on the USS Liberty was the last
straw for me and would be for many other America first patriots which
is why Israel first fifth columnists in the USA have perpetuated the
cover-up for decades):

USS Liberty officer Lloyd Painter witnessed the Israeli torpedo boats
deliberately machine gunning the Liberty's life rafts as such
testimony was given by him for the Court of Inquiry and was censored
out of the final version of it for obvious reasons (the treacherous
Israelis have at least one of the Liberty's machine gunned life rafts
on display in a museum in Israel).

in the prestigious 'Proceedings' publication:

Not when the ship was reporting the attack over and she was moving out
of the area; as well as the Sixth Fleet receiving word from the US
Embassy in Tel Aviv that the attack had been in error.

How about an
attack that lasted over an hour in daylight --


But that's not how long the ship was under attack; had she been, then
no doubt that old Victory-hull converted freighter would have in fact
been sent to the bottom.

while the US flag was
flying, and mayday was sent over and over?


As the record clearly shows, the ship herself was reporting the
attacjk was over. What she needed was surface aid, not jets, which
could do nothing to bring aid to her.
