Survivors reveal deadly USS Liberty attack was a setup

On June 8, 1967, the USS Liberty, a U.S. Navy vessel, was attacked during peacetime in the Mediterranean Sea. This tragic incident led to the death of 34 crew members and injured 171 others. The survivors believe they were deliberately left unassisted, facing a calculated attack. Phil Tourney, a petty officer aboard, insisted there was a conspiracy involved, suggesting that higher authorities were aware of the situation and did not send help despite having dispatched assistance initially. As the Liberty was accused of gathering intelligence, its presence in a war zone without escort raises questions about decision-making processes at the governmental level. Survivors have faced threats to silence them regarding the events of that fateful day, asserting that many in Washington would prefer the truth to remain hidden. They seek acknowledgment of their experiences and demand a full investigation into the attack, which has been labeled as an accident by official accounts but is vehemently disputed by those who served on the ship. Congress has not conducted a thorough inquiry into the incident, deepening the frustration felt by survivors who seek validation for their narrative and understanding of why such a tragedy occurred without accountability.
