This month 49 years ago the US Navy ship, USS Liberty, was attacked by the Israelis…..the incident has been swept under the rug then and is still a little known piece of American Naval history….I am trying to see that it is not forgotten….we as a country MUST remember these brave souls killed by an ally…..we must never forget this attack or the sailors that died!
Last Wednesday at noon at Arlington National Cemetery I attended the annual commemorative gathering of the survivors and friends of the U.S.S. Liberty. The moving service included the ringing of a ship’s bell…….
I’d say, to use a phrase from the most elitist ‘sport’ there is, the entire incident, and the resultant blackwash, (not a typo), is “par for the course” here in Amurrica….

And that is truly sad after all the hub-bub over the 4 deaths in Libya…..chuq
