Summary: Fantastic Storytelling and Investigatory Work
Comment: On June 8, 1967, the Israelis attacked the USS Liberty, in international waters, 13 miles off the coast of the Sinai Peninsula, and tried to sink it, and kill all 294 American on board the spy ship. The Israelis then falsely claimed it was just a case of "mistaken identity."
However, according to Peter Hounam, the author of the expose', "Operation Cyanide," the murderous Israeli attack was a set up to blame the Egyptians and bring the U.S. into the 1967 war on their side. The Liberty was a "sitting duck" for the Israeli jet planes' missiles and rockets and their torpedo boats. The attack lasted at least 75 minutes, killing 34 brave Americans and wounding 172 others. On first hearing of the Liberty attack by allegedly "unidentified aircraft," the U.S. launched planes from the Sixth Fleet carriers, then located in the Mediterranean, off Crete, armed with nuclear weapons. They were headed for Cairo to retaliate. Only minutes before reaching their target, they were recalled. Why? The Israelis had failed to sink the Liberty! According to Hounam's research, the White House knew within minutes of the Liberty attack, that the perpetrator was really Israel (p. 94). On two separate occasions, the White House recalled aircraft rescue missions for the Liberty. On the last attempt, LBJ told Rear-Admiral Lawrence Geis of the Sixth Fleet, "I WILL NOT EMBARRASS OUR ALLY." The Liberty was then left "dead in the water," without any assistance for over 16 hours.
At pp. 267-268, Hounam said, "Sinking the Liberty and blaming Egypt and the Soviets would have freed Johnson's hand to do almost anything-even to drop an atomic bomb on Cairo. Trouble only arose when the Israel operation failed - and the damned ship stayed afloat." Hounam revealed that within LBJ's hawkish administration, there was shadowy clique that met under the rubric of the "303 Committee." Richard Helms, the late CIA Director, said that entity was, "A device for examining covert operations of any kind and making a judgment on behalf of the President, so he wouldn't be nailed with the thing, if it failed." Out of the "303 Committee," came a project labeled, "Frontlet 615," which was furthered defined as, "A secret political agreement in 1966 by which Israel and the U.S. had vowed to destroy (Egypt's Gamal Abdel) Nasser." The military name for the operation was, "Operation Cyanide." The secrets of our government can kill.

Summary: Just another pathetic attempt to rewrite history
Comment: One of the most overused myths of this friendly fire accident is that Israel should have seen the American flag on the ship, however when there is no wind a flag does not fly, it lies limp against the pole. A. Jay Cristol investigated this accident for 14 years and even viewed the plane's gun camera film which showed smoke rising from the Liberty, proving that that the flag would have been impossible to see.
Neither of the authors here spent $75,000 of their own money. Neither of these propagandists interviewed the CIA's then station chief at the Tel Aviv embassy. Neither of these bogus authors talked with the 3 living IDF pilots who strafedthe Lberty.
In short the information here is mostly based on hearsay that cannot be affirmed by anyone i.e. it's a book based on lies.
Don't waste your time with these venomous opinions.

Summary: THE.... Wildest abuse of power,ever in U.S. History.
Comment: Aloha, Paul Driscoll,Waikoloa,HI. this book will make you crazy.
It is a book to be read, not speed read, READ!! The US has labored under a myriad of excuses and suppositions, all of which seem to be, Class A,Profile One, Lies. The motive was enmeshed
in, you guessed it, A CONSPIRACY. And,you would need 20 years in a rubber room to come up with this one. This one is a Beauty!!The Motive for the Attack on the USS Liberty was not Mistaken Identity, not the ship heard something,or was going to hear something, or it was too close to the 6 Day War. The war was almost over. The motive was deception. Sink the ship, blame the Egyptians, NUKE Egypt, get rid of Nasser.All in a tight little package. But as luck would have it. The ship, wouldn't sink. That which followed, was 2 clicks away from being an operation that resembled a Soup Sandwich. The excuses,would have been done better,by Larry,Moe, and Curly. This book makes the 13 days in October, seem like a Mrs Filberts Margerine Ad. This book makes me stutter.
34 guys died in the Israeli Attack on the USS Liberty. 171,went
to the hospital. The reason, not mistaken identity, they were
bait, US Sailors were bait, Chum, so Lyndon Johnson, could get
rid of Gamel Abdel Nasser, with an A Bomb. Think you have read
some amazing stories, this is AMAZING to the 10th power.
is so well investigated, it will make you re-read it as soon
as you finish.
