Searle, When discussing the USS Liberty incident there are a couple of little known facets to consider: James M. Ennes Jr., a Liberty survivor whose 1979 book, "Assault on the Liberty," was the first comprehensive effort to tell the crew's story, has since found a document in the Liberty's file at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library in Austin referring to *a meeting of the White House "303 Committee" in April 1967, a few months before* the outbreak of the Six-Day War. It concerns something called Operation Cyanide*, which apparently involved a U.S.-Israeli covert operation that would have stationed a submarine in Egyptian waters. Asked on camera by the BBC about Operation Cyanide, Rafi Eitan, who was with the Israeli secret service in 1967, smiled cryptically and said: "I know what I am able to tell you and where I have to stop. And here I stop." When the same interviewers questioned former CIA chief Helms on camera, he confirmed the covert function of the 303 Committee but said, "You'll have to ask McNamara" about Operation Cyanide. When Robert McNamara, secretary of defense in 1967, was asked on camera about Operation Cyanide, he replied, "I won't say a word about the Liberty."* Why? When the U.S. Navy finally heard the Liberty was under attack, it was assumed the attackers were Egyptian. Strike aircraft were launched from the carrier Saratoga and elsewhere and Parker, the former ambassador, says he was warned in Cairo that they were en route to the Egyptian capital. But when Israel was identified as the attacker, they were recalled... washingtonpost.com The original plan was to use an attack on the USS Liberty as justification to bring the US into a wider Middle East conflict than just a 6 day war. The USS Liberty didn't sink, survivors existed, witnesses existed. The original plan had to be dropped. 3 months BEFORE the 6 day war a meeting was held that involved the USS Liberty, Egypt, Israel and US clandestine services. Don't fall into the false dichotomy that ANYTHING is a one-way street...or even a two-way street for that matter. Multiple confluence is the norm.
