This is a remarkable
interview with one of the USS Liberty survivors, Ernie Gallo. The ship was
attacked June 8, 1967 by Israeli air force for several hours in an attempt to
sink it. 34 men died and 174 were wounded. LBJ ordered the US air force to
stand down and not respond to their distress signal. treason. he didn't want to
embarrass our ally. the men were ordered to never speak about this event and for
many years they didn't, but the burden of silence became too great and one by one they have spoken out. Admiral McCain headed
the 2 week inquiry that found that it was an accident. One of the Israeli
pilots radioed back there was an error made, that the target was a US naval
vessel. He was ordered to continue, but chose to return to base where he was
arrested. These men deserve to have their story told. http://www.federaljack.com/down-the-rabbit-hole-w-popeye-05-29-2014-ernie-gallo-survivor-of-the-attack-on-uss-liberty/
