[QUOTE]Originally posted by Griffworks: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [qb] You ARE aware of the US military's track-record when it comes to "friendly fire" incidents? 8) [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes, just as I'm aware of the Brit Military's track-record on the same. ;) [QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay:[qb] Quoting from [URL=http://www.ussliberty.com,]www.ussliberty.com,[/URL] "Ennes acknowledges that no "official" Hebrew linguists were on board, but he points out that at least one of the doomed NSA men, Russian/Arabic linguist Allen Blue, understood Hebrew. As for the jamming, Ennes, quoting Chief Radioman Wayne Smith and an article in Proceedings, also notes that the ship could not have been misidentified, because the frequencies jammed were peculiar to the U.S. Navy. Liberty Radioman Richard "Rocky" Sturman also recalls that he and other technicians heard the radio jamming. Judge Cristol rejects such accounts as "myth."[/qb][/QUOTE]That's interesting that they weren't on-station with an "official" linguist. Interesting that the judge rejects the accounts. I wonder if something isn't being spelled out in the website and stories that are publicized. [QUOTE][qb]The flag was already raised. The ship was displaying all her colors so that no one could misidentify her. After the attack began, a LARGER flag was raised in case the Israeli pilots were blind as well as stupid (as it turned out, they were just stabbing their ally in the back). [/qb][/QUOTE]Good point about the flag already being up. I had forgotten about that. I've seen the [i]Liberty[/i] website before and read thru the account, but it's been a while. I had forgotten that [i]Liberty[/i] wasn't a "spy ship" in the strictist sense of the word. She was a intell gathering ship that sat in international waters and flying the U.S. flag. [/QB][/QUOTE]
