The USS Liberty was a floating CIA intelligence gathering platform monitoring all transmissions from all sources involved in the 1967 Six Day War. Israel’s 1967 attack on the USS Liberty was on June 8. The attack by the Israel Defense Forces—commonly considered our long-time ally—killed 34 American servicemen and wounded another 171. This attack has frequently been dismissed as an accident and demands for an investigation have been ignored.
