Israeli communications said prove IAF knew Liberty was U.S. ship
==================================================
By Yossi Melman - 04/10/2007
The Israel Air Force warplanes and Israel Navy warships that
attacked the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967, at the height of the Six-
Day War, were aware that the vessel was an American spy ship,
according to new testimony published Thursday in the Chicago
Tribune.
The report stated that the U.S. National Security Agency ? to which
the intelligence gathering ship belonged ? was able to intercept IAF
communications according to which, at some stage of the attack, the
pilots identified the ship as American but were nonetheless
instructed to push ahead with the attack.
Oliver Kirby, the NSA's deputy director for operations at the time
of the Liberty attack, is quoted by the Tribune as confirming the
existence of the transcripts, saying he personally read them.
"They said, 'We've got him in the zero,'" Kirby was quoted as
saying, "whatever that meant - I guess the sights or something. And
then one of them said, 'Can you see the flag?' They said 'Yes, it's
U.S, it's U.S.' They said it several times, so there wasn't any
doubt in anybody's mind that they knew it."
Kirby told the newspaper that the transcripts were "something that's
bothered me all my life. I'm willing to swear on a stack of Bibles
that we knew they knew."
According to the report, some of the transcripts and intelligence
information has disappeared, while the rest can be found in U.S.
government archives ,...
