I read a recent book on the genesis of the U.S. - Israeli alliance during the Kennedy administration. Interestingly, at the same time the New Frontiersmen were trying to put together an alliance with Nasser, a relationship like we have today with Egypt. Nasser was interested, but when he went to war in Yemen against the Saudis it was too hard to put together. Still, some very high level State Department types wanted a deal with Nasser. Did the Israelis suspect we were feeding Nasser intelligence?

That is the thesis of John Loftus and Mark Aarons which I excerpted on Part I at 76.

Interesting theory, Phil. It would be nice to put McNamara under some truth serum and find out what really happened. Given the way he's tried to whitewash his role as architect of the Vietnam War, I doubt he'll ever tell the truth about the Liberty.
