Cover Up: Attack on the U.S.S. Liberty | ||
On June 8, 1967, the intelligence ship U.S.S. Liberty, stationed off the Sinai Peninsula during the Six-Day War, was attacked by unmarked jets and later by unmarked torpedo boats. In all, 34 men were killed and 171 wounded. Deep into the attack, the captain and crew realized that the aggressor was their ally, Israel, who claimed they couldn't identify the ship as American. We examine crewmembers' contentions that the attack was intentional and that both governments covered up the true details. TV PG |
Veronica, dear, don't you have any other obsessions to investigate?
'Public opinion has swayed against U.S. support of the creation of a Palestinian state, though, with 44 percent opposed to the idea, while 39 percent say the U.S. should favor its creation.
Nearly half of those polled (49 percent) blame the Palestinians for the recent violence, with only 12 percent holding the Israelis responsible.
And 70 percent of Americans now see Arafat as an obstacle to peace (up from an already sizable 63 percent in December)....a clear majority (53 percent) continue to disagree that the U.S. should reduce ties to Israel in order to lessen acts of terrorism against us (versus 31 percent who agree).'
So you see Phil. You and your cohorts are in the minority.
