CIA Report on uss Liberty Released Under FOIA

The CIA has de-classified its report on the uss Liberty incident:

http://www.foia.cia.gov/browse_docs_full.asp?doc_no=0001359216&title=THE+ISRAELI+ATTACK+ON+THE+USS+LIBERTY&abstract=&no_pages=0015&pub_date=6%2F13%2F1967&release_date=10%2F20%2F2006&keywords=USS+LIBERTY&case_no=F%2D2004%2D00595&copyright=0&release_dec=RIPPUB&classification=U&showPage=0001

A few highlights:
para 5: easy mis-id with Egypt’s El Qesir
para 7: mis-id lasted until 44mins after attack
para 10: Liberty wasn’t where it should have been, botched order delivery.

Hearing it from the US themselves certainly won’t stop the haters, unfortunately. They’ll just be a litlle more blatant. Oh well. 😀

RIP to the sailors victims of this tragic mistake.
