Heroism Horror The Pain Continues October 7, 2004 "The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were Treated and Appreciated by their Nation." - George Washington USS Liberty, a neutral ship in international waters, was attacked without warning by air and naval forces of the state of Israel on June 8, 1967. USS Liberty had not engaged in any provocative conduct, nor was she any kind of obvious threat to other ships or aircraft in the area. In the days immediately following the attack, the United States Navy held an unusual and extremely abbreviated Court of Inquiry. The Court found that as of the date it made its findings, the evidence then available to it did not clearly establish hostile intent. The Court did not have access to communications intercepts and other important items of evidence when it made this finding. USS Liberty The Navy neither completed a full Court of Inquiry investigation, nor undertook any other, further formal inquiries concerning the Israeli attack on USS Liberty. Indeed, from the moment the attack started until today, no U.S. government body has undertaken any investigation into the culpability for the attack on USS Liberty. This site seeks to fill that void by bringing forward all relevant, probative, and material evidence concerning the attack on USS Liberty. We will sift through the evidence, analyze the arguments made by the various parties and their supporters, examine the applicable law, and finally arrive at findings of fact and conclusions of law. The USS Liberty Court of Inquiry site should be viewed as a subsidiary of the more comprehensive USS Liberty Memorial site, which deals with all aspects of the attack, the coverup, and its aftermath. Finally, we have also set up a discussion forum so that visitors may express their thoughts on the subjects raised here and engage in dialogs with other visitors.
