1
00:00:03,576 --> 00:00:05,902
One morning one day
Summer of 1967
2
00:00:06,432 --> 00:00:09,899
An American warship docked
In one of the disabled ship ports
3
00:00:11,190 --> 00:00:14,012
And six days before that
And on the eighth of June
4
00:00:14,331 --> 00:00:16,892
The Liberty ship was attacked
5
00:00:20,210 --> 00:00:23,321
Where a torpedo shell caused damage
A huge hole in the side of the ship
6
00:00:23,577 --> 00:00:25,659
The water flooded her lower basin
7
00:00:29,704 --> 00:00:34,529
Everyone in the ocean died
Which I was working on, except for me
8
00:00:36,324 --> 00:00:41,009
Most of the information gathering devices were also lost
Modern American intelligence development
9
00:00:41,692 --> 00:00:44,705
It was the ship Liberty
Designed for espionage
10
00:00:48,402 --> 00:00:51,148
Liberty shouldn't have shown up there
11
00:00:52,286 --> 00:00:54,968
It was not the enemy who tried
Sinking the ship Liberty
12
00:00:55,570 --> 00:00:58,053
Rather, it was America's ally, Israel
13
00:00:58,413 --> 00:01:01,643
Which was fighting its neighbors
Arabs in the Six Day War
14
00:01:07,414 --> 00:01:11,296
Survivors have always confirmed that the incident
It was not a coincidence
15
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:16,915
We were quite known and offensive
It was clearly intentional
16
00:01:17,106 --> 00:01:21,502
I personally consider it a crime to commit murder
In cold blood on American sailors that day
17
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,305
However, Israel insists on considering it
A tragic incident of mistaken identity
18
00:01:31,871 --> 00:01:38,561
This is very embarrassing for the Israeli army and its forces
armed to commit such a grave mistake
19
00:01:38,754 --> 00:01:40,108
No doubt about it
20
00:01:40,305 --> 00:01:42,247
...But we admit our mistake
21
00:01:42,417 --> 00:01:47,919
This does not mean that there was any premeditation
Or a conspiracy or something like that
22
00:01:50,270 --> 00:01:53,486
But the ship's soldiers claimed
There really is a conspiracy
23
00:01:53,745 --> 00:01:56,789
And it was covered up
For thirty-five years
24
00:02:00,009 --> 00:02:04,127
If it was an accident, it would be considered
Best staged accident I've ever heard of
25
00:02:04,886 --> 00:02:15,360

Translated by: Faisal Karim Al-Dhafiri
26
00:02:30,119 --> 00:02:34,596
If the Jews could now gather
At their holy site, the Wailing Wall
27
00:02:34,940 --> 00:02:39,368
It is because the Six Day War made them...
They control the Old City of Jerusalem
28
00:02:47,630 --> 00:02:52,861
This situation also caused 35 years
Of violence, hatred and bloodshed
29
00:03:07,937 --> 00:03:12,645
Since 1967, Israel has become...
The dominant power in the Middle East
30
00:03:12,819 --> 00:03:15,104
Thanks to its alliance with the United States

(Richard Parker)
Political Consul at the Embassy
American University in Cairo, 1967
32
00:03:16,671 --> 00:03:20,139
It was a turning point in our relationship with Israel
33
00:03:20,473 --> 00:03:26,028
Until then, we avoided being
Israel's main arms supplier
34
00:03:35,780 --> 00:03:43,550
Israel's security has practically become one of our goals
strategy, which was not the case before
35
00:03:48,030 --> 00:03:52,213
For 35 years, the soldiers of the Liberty Ship...
The ancients launch a campaign to seek justice
36
00:03:52,596 --> 00:03:55,065
And conduct a comprehensive investigation
To attack their ship
37
00:03:55,446 --> 00:03:58,759
We need you because that's what makes us
able to continue
38
00:03:59,305 --> 00:04:03,693
We cannot do what we do
Activities without your help
39
00:04:04,503 --> 00:04:09,004
~We did not know the reason for what happened that day~
40
00:04:09,694 --> 00:04:14,482
~And why did the devastation of war hit our path~
41
00:04:15,034 --> 00:04:20,136
~We lost our husbands, sons, and friends~
42
00:04:20,308 --> 00:04:25,155
~And there is no hope that our voices will be heard~
43
00:04:25,312 --> 00:04:28,336
~...Oh, Liberty~
44
00:04:28,781 --> 00:04:31,085
For many young people
American in the mid-sixties
45
00:04:31,620 --> 00:04:35,056
Joining the Navy was an alternative
Preferring to serve in the army
46
00:04:41,277 --> 00:04:44,570
It was kind of strange, I didn't want to
Going because of the events in Vietnam
47
00:04:44,571 --> 00:04:50,624
My colleagues were coming back with body bags
I delayed responding and then received a second notification
48
00:04:51,215 --> 00:04:55,294
So I thought I needed to do something
So I wanted to join the Navy
49
00:04:52,912 --> 00:04:58,229
{\an7}
:(John Hrankowski)
One of the soldiers on the Liberty ship
50
00:04:58,776 --> 00:05:05,277
So I went there, and then 13 weeks later
Butte Camp, I entered the Liberty ship
51
00:05:07,404 --> 00:05:12,226
Hrankowski didn't know that yet
Liberty was also headed for war.
52
00:05:12,872 --> 00:05:14,845
While America was preoccupied with Vietnam
53
00:05:15,213 --> 00:05:18,435
The Soviet Union was established
Expanding its influence in the Middle East
54
00:05:22,609 --> 00:05:25,603
He supported extremist governments
In Syria and Egypt
55
00:05:25,784 --> 00:05:32,196
Its president, Gamal Abdel Nasser, became a speaker
The main Arab conflict with Israel
56
00:05:32,559 --> 00:05:40,641
Egypt faced enormous pressure at that time
By her Arab sisters
57
00:05:42,011 --> 00:05:47,362
I remember that the Jordanians were calling
About President Abdel Nasser and they tell him
58
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,433

:(Shlomo Gazit)
Military intelligence
Israeli, 1967
59
00:05:47,702 --> 00:05:50,425
"You're just bragging."
And you don't do anything
60
00:05:50,426 --> 00:05:54,077
“You have failed your Syrian allies
And things like that
61
00:05:54,804 --> 00:06:00,520
They thought it was necessary
Doing something that works
62
00:06:05,602 --> 00:06:08,228
Meanwhile, the ship crossed
Liberty (Atlantic Ocean)
63
00:06:08,572 --> 00:06:11,493
It docked in a port on the beaches
West Africa in Abidjan
64
00:06:15,132 --> 00:06:19,349
Some sailors took a break from their workload
They were busy with their home cameras
65
00:06:34,291 --> 00:06:39,363
The Liberty was unarmed
Designed to penetrate electronic communications
66
00:06:39,546 --> 00:06:43,192
and passing intelligence information
to the highest levels of the American government
67
00:06:45,935 --> 00:06:48,269
There was no other ship like it
68
00:06:48,621 --> 00:06:51,202
There were 45 receiving antennas on board
69
00:06:51,922 --> 00:06:55,843
At its bottom are dozens of...
Communications analysts and translators

:(Joe Lentini)
One of the soldiers on the Liberty ship
71
00:06:58,514 --> 00:07:02,548
If it was broadcast on the airwaves
Airways, so I can receive it
72
00:07:02,717 --> 00:07:08,003
And on any wave, short ones
Or high, medium, or very short
73
00:07:08,536 --> 00:07:13,453
If it was broadcasting, we could receive it
And if we are listening for one of the signals
74
00:07:13,625 --> 00:07:17,338
We cannot understand it
Or when it is also encrypted
75
00:07:17,910 --> 00:07:21,037
We send it to the NSA
To process it with their computers
76
00:07:22,393 --> 00:07:29,920
The National Security Agency is considered the most American organization
Confidentiality in dealing with electronic information
77
00:07:30,803 --> 00:07:32,727
And through its headquarters
, outside Washington
78
00:07:32,905 --> 00:07:37,440
She controls the ship (Liberty) that is sailing
Slowly along the western coast of Africa
79
00:07:41,110 --> 00:07:44,883
In May 1967, Abdel Nasser
By moving thousands of Egyptian forces
80
00:07:44,884 --> 00:07:48,019
Towards the previously demilitarized Sinai Peninsula
81
00:07:48,957 --> 00:07:52,368
Israel and Egypt now faced face to face
82
00:07:53,092 --> 00:07:56,258
But the movement was not threatening with weapons
It means that war has become inevitable
83
00:08:04,072 --> 00:08:06,070
However, Abdel Nasser raised
Of the potential for risk
84
00:08:06,622 --> 00:08:11,243
When the Straits of Tiran were closed, it was cut off
Supplies at the Israeli port of Eilat
85
00:08:14,089 --> 00:08:17,856
Israel considered this an act
Aggressively, it began moving its forces
86
00:08:20,970 --> 00:08:25,690
In fact, the hawks in the Israeli government
They were anticipating the decisive confrontation with the Arabs
87
00:08:26,241 --> 00:08:28,800
Both sides are now preparing for war
88
00:08:31,372 --> 00:08:34,884
And what will soon be besieged is the Liberty ship
89
00:08:36,026 --> 00:08:40,348
Its commander (William L. McGonagill) was experienced
In the Navy since World War II
90
00:08:42,377 --> 00:08:46,030
The crew included code breakers and experts
Highly trained antennas
91
00:08:46,616 --> 00:08:48,304
Like Dave Lewis
92
00:08:53,168 --> 00:09:02,450
I was the research officer on the research ship and the officer
Administrator, the executive officer was his assistant
93
00:09:03,044 --> 00:09:08,573
I was responsible for the collections staff
Security personnel amounting to 195 soldiers

:(Dave Lewis)
One of the soldiers on the Liberty ship
95
00:09:09,113 --> 00:09:17,040
We have been sent to tense locations
around the world to find out what's going on
96
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,165
And whether the United States
Do you want to intervene in any way?
97
00:09:26,290 --> 00:09:31,289
It wasn't for life on board the Liberty
Like all other naval ships
98
00:09:32,012 --> 00:09:38,328
In the sixties, it was like this
Luxury ships operate independently
99
00:09:38,526 --> 00:09:42,980
The superior officer of the warship America
It is the flagship of the Sixth Fleet
100
00:09:42,981 --> 00:09:47,738
They weren't tracking our ship
She was sailing completely alone
101
00:09:48,940 --> 00:09:53,726
And when we sailors are off duty
We go out bare chested to enjoy the sun
102
00:09:53,923 --> 00:09:57,772
We were wearing clean uniforms
Polished with starch and bright
103
00:09:57,948 --> 00:10:01,611
And very shiny shoes
Our nails were never dirty
104
00:10:01,844 --> 00:10:03,928
Our hair was shiny
105
00:10:04,319 --> 00:10:08,660
McGonagill was a wonderful person
106
00:10:09,180 --> 00:10:13,534
Every Sunday we ate cake from it
When we go to the stern of the ship
107
00:10:19,090 --> 00:10:21,366
Being on board is great
108
00:10:21,545 --> 00:10:25,613
It was fun to move from Abidjan
In Ivory Coast to Cape Town

:(George Golden)
One of the soldiers on the Liberty ship
110
00:10:26,009 --> 00:10:31,794
So you drift along 3 knots and listen
From 10 miles from the beach
111
00:10:36,300 --> 00:10:40,431
When Liberty docks in Abidjan
This was considered a social occasion of the year
112
00:10:42,037 --> 00:10:45,293
I returned to the ship at two o'clock
On the morning of the day we left
113
00:10:48,253 --> 00:10:50,453
I was angry at the strange manner
By Captain McGanigle
114
00:10:50,454 --> 00:10:53,950
Who informed me that we had received orders to sail immediately
115
00:10:54,111 --> 00:10:58,065
And I have to gather the rest of the soldiers so we can sail
116
00:11:00,439 --> 00:11:04,571
The ship was ordered, with a sudden change
For its mission, to go to the Middle East
117
00:11:10,270 --> 00:11:16,490
And 5,000 miles away in Washington, it was
Hard-line Israeli spy expert Meir Amit
118
00:11:16,850 --> 00:11:20,981
He pays a secret visit to his friends by proxy
US Intelligence and Department of Defense
119
00:11:22,109 --> 00:11:27,157
Amit's main meeting was with...
Robert McNamara (US Secretary of Defense)
120
00:11:27,612 --> 00:11:32,302
Amit wanted to know if the Americans...
They will support Israel if it launches the first strike
121
00:11:33,253 --> 00:11:35,912
But the two men have memories
Very different about their meeting
122
00:11:40,246 --> 00:11:45,003
{\an7}
:(Meir Amit)
Director of Intelligence
Israeli (Mossad) 1963-68
123
00:11:36,192 --> 00:11:46,722
I told him that we do not want even one soldier from you
All we want is to stop the Russians from reaching the region
124
00:11:46,899 --> 00:11:53,688
Secondly, our help after the war
125
00:11:54,023 --> 00:11:56,744
When I finished, he asked me two questions
126
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,728
First, how long will the war last?
I replied: One week
127
00:12:00,888 --> 00:12:05,552
The second: How many victims will there be?
(I answered: Less than independence (1948).
128
00:12:06,389 --> 00:12:12,664
Then I asked him: Mr. Minister, what do you advise me to do?
May I go to my country now?
129
00:12:14,256 --> 00:12:17,022
Or should I stay here until everything is clear?
130
00:12:18,311 --> 00:12:23,195
He replied: No, go to your country
Your place is there now
131
00:12:23,790 --> 00:12:29,370
I concluded from this that it was a green light
132
00:12:30,616 --> 00:12:35,383
{\an9}
:(Robert McNamara)
US Secretary of Defense 1961-68
133
00:12:30,979 --> 00:12:32,999
Absolutely not!
134
00:12:33,426 --> 00:12:41,191
Because by this time the President and I agreed
Johnson and Dean Rusk completely.
135
00:12:41,194 --> 00:12:43,403
We must maintain a position
...the United States
136
00:12:43,404 --> 00:12:49,351
In case Israel asks us for help
Military to respond to the attack by the Egyptians
137
00:12:49,352 --> 00:12:54,874
Or a possible attack from Egypt
With support from the Soviet Union
138
00:12:55,078 --> 00:12:57,930
We had to take a stand
...enables us to obtain
139
00:12:58,130 --> 00:13:04,070
For the support of the American people and Congress
To carry out military support for Israel
140
00:13:04,071 --> 00:13:08,235
Which we cannot have
In case Israel attacks Egypt
141
00:13:08,399 --> 00:13:12,882
So our position is:
By forbidding them from launching the attack
142
00:13:13,049 --> 00:13:17,824
There is no basis for belief
...What the Israelis talked about
143
00:13:18,316 --> 00:13:20,876
They have not received any indications from me to the contrary
144
00:13:23,805 --> 00:13:25,104
That same night
145
00:13:25,251 --> 00:13:31,637
A young linguist was suddenly sent from an agency
Homeland Security invites Alan Blue to join Liberty
146
00:13:39,254 --> 00:13:43,809
{\an9}
(Pat Blue)
147
00:13:34,027 --> 00:13:38,250
They called him in the middle of the night
Close to two o'clock in the morning
148
00:13:38,611 --> 00:13:43,028
He left the house and went to the National Security Agency
149
00:13:43,374 --> 00:13:49,780
By noon the next day, he was gone
Plane on its way to Spain
150
00:13:50,158 --> 00:13:54,878
I've never seen him like this before, he's lost
He was about to burst into tears
151
00:13:56,587 --> 00:14:03,903
He hugged me tightly, which he did not do
On his previous trips
152
00:14:05,221 --> 00:14:08,024
Alan Blue met the ship
In the Spanish port of Rota
153
00:14:08,857 --> 00:14:12,192
By this time, the ship's crew
They were informed that they would go to the Gaza Strip
154
00:14:13,061 --> 00:14:17,624

(Jim Ennis)
One of the soldiers on the Liberty ship
155
00:14:12,936 --> 00:14:21,745
We learned from the daily news that the situation is somewhere between
Arabs and Israelis are becoming more hostile day by day
156
00:14:22,951 --> 00:14:30,624
And even then the war did not occur, however
It seemed to everyone who read the newspapers that it would soon break out
157
00:14:30,804 --> 00:14:36,323
So we were clearly sent to
There to eavesdrop on what's going on
158
00:14:38,550 --> 00:14:43,072
In the early morning of June 5th
Israel launched the war
159
00:14:43,766 --> 00:14:47,590
Its planes bombed airfields
In Sinai and the Suez Canal region
160
00:14:47,855 --> 00:14:50,275
Thus, it destroyed most of the Egyptian Air Force
161
00:14:50,930 --> 00:14:57,773
These are the original photos taken from fighter cameras
During the attacks on Arab airports
162
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,990
In fact, they had no idea
Our attack took them completely by surprise
163
00:15:14,991 --> 00:15:18,055
After we had breakfast and coffee in a meeting
164
00:15:15,922 --> 00:15:20,631
{\an7}
(Ezra Weisman)
Head of the Military Operations Room, 1967
165
00:15:18,583 --> 00:15:24,896
We set off directly with two squadrons for Sinai
Five in Egypt and two in Upper Egypt
166
00:15:25,725 --> 00:15:28,761
Then we did the second, third and fourth round
167
00:15:30,018 --> 00:15:35,732
Again, actual photos of air combat operations
Captured from Israeli aircraft cameras
168
00:15:47,686 --> 00:15:51,790
Meanwhile, the Soviet Union was strengthening
From his military presence near the war zone
169
00:15:52,437 --> 00:15:55,351
He moved 20 warships
Towards the eastern Mediterranean
170
00:15:56,956 --> 00:15:59,876
In response, the Ministry of Defense ordered
American Sixth Fleet
171
00:15:59,877 --> 00:16:04,205
To make all planes and ships on
At least 100 miles from the coast
172
00:16:06,512 --> 00:16:09,089
But one of the ships did not receive such a message
173
00:16:09,932 --> 00:16:13,883
The Liberty ship continued
Sailing towards the shores of Sinai
174
00:16:16,865 --> 00:16:26,573
We were told there was no need to worry and we asked the fleet commander
Sixth, we must be accompanied by armed protection, such as a destroyer
175
00:16:27,288 --> 00:16:37,113
He replied to us with a message that we were sailing within international waters
We raise the American flags, so there is no need for armed convoy
176
00:16:38,547 --> 00:16:41,832
Liberty was approaching an area
Israel won a complete victory
177
00:16:41,867 --> 00:16:45,558
On the third day of the war
They took over the West Bank
178
00:16:46,139 --> 00:16:49,557
But the big prize was
Occupying the city of East Jerusalem
179
00:16:51,110 --> 00:16:59,158
I was delighted when I heard the news
Every Jew prays in Jerusalem daily
180
00:16:59,958 --> 00:17:04,390
That night, Liberty arrived at her destination
Close to the coast of Sinai
181
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,841
On Thursday, June 8th
The weather is clear and the sky is clear
182
00:17:17,211 --> 00:17:22,999
But the war was still raging, and planes were flying
The Israeli forces are in Sinai to inspect the Liberty ship
183
00:17:26,808 --> 00:17:35,109
The appointment was at six o'clock
We wake up, shower, then have a meal
184
00:17:35,110 --> 00:17:42,106
But before that, at approximately five in the morning
We heard planes circling around us
185
00:17:42,689 --> 00:17:47,495
It seems that the Israeli planes were recognizing...
The ship belongs to its ally, America
186
00:17:49,393 --> 00:18:03,441
The aircraft flew over on approximately nine occasions
By going 12 complete circles around the ship that morning
187
00:18:04,124 --> 00:18:07,249
Lloyd Pinter relieved him
Assistant officer from the cockpit
188
00:18:07,761 --> 00:18:11,008
Where he was also sure
From the appearance of Israeli aircraft
189
00:18:11,826 --> 00:18:16,679
{\an9}
(Lloyd Pinter)
One of the soldiers on the Liberty ship
190
00:18:11,304 --> 00:18:16,257
I remember very clearly looking out the window
Circularity of the high deck of the ship
191
00:18:16,580 --> 00:18:19,143
Where I saw the officers
They are enjoying sunbathing
192
00:18:20,963 --> 00:18:23,303
At the same time, planes were flying above us
193
00:18:23,470 --> 00:18:27,247
I remember feeling reassured
And internal confidence that we are safe
194
00:18:27,248 --> 00:18:30,709
They knew our identity
We were not strangers that day
195
00:18:32,574 --> 00:18:36,912
The Liberty soldiers were enjoying a relaxed state
Based on their confidence that the Israelis know their identity
196
00:18:37,194 --> 00:18:43,348
A new flag was raised and the field of view was completely clear
They did not receive any orders to leave the area
197
00:18:44,213 --> 00:18:47,615
And this feeling of security
About to be brutally shattered
198
00:18:49,952 --> 00:18:51,637
At two o'clock in the afternoon
199
00:18:52,212 --> 00:18:55,827
Officers in the tower spotted three jets
Mirage model with triangular wings
200
00:18:57,114 --> 00:19:05,324
I saw her pounce on us from the circular window, where...
The jet took a low level attack position
201
00:19:05,497 --> 00:19:16,791
I was surprised and saw a red light coming out of its wings
Rockets started bombing the ship
202
00:19:19,269 --> 00:19:25,178
The windows immediately exploded on my chest and on
My colleague next to me, whose face exploded
203
00:19:25,538 --> 00:19:30,308
And we all fell on the cabin
From the force of hitting the glass
204
00:19:30,516 --> 00:19:37,679
The next thing I heard around me
A panicked announcement over the emergency loudspeaker
205
00:19:38,473 --> 00:19:44,201
General mobilization, general mobilization, this is not an exercise
General mobilization, the ship is under attack
206
00:19:45,594 --> 00:19:47,938
...Then I heard voices
207
00:19:48,204 --> 00:19:52,912
Ship's upper board crash
An attempt to send a distress signal failed
208
00:19:53,584 --> 00:19:56,075
The Liberty ship's waves were disturbed
209
00:19:57,265 --> 00:20:00,236
They must have known
With the waves we work on
210
00:20:02,592 --> 00:20:06,027
And when they know that, they must
They knew we were an American ship
211
00:20:06,453 --> 00:20:12,052
If they were, they would know which frequencies
We were working with it because they knew the fleet frequency
212
00:20:12,416 --> 00:20:14,406
Yes (in Russian).
Hello! (in English.)
213
00:20:15,255 --> 00:20:20,370
The attackers knew their target, but...
They were keen to hide their true identity
214
00:20:21,257 --> 00:20:28,241
During the attack, no one saw any signs
...And some guys told me later
215
00:20:28,242 --> 00:20:32,065
They made strenuous efforts to identify them
216
00:20:32,556 --> 00:20:36,341
They swore they were planes
It bears no markings
217
00:20:36,988 --> 00:20:44,647
They destroyed all of our transmitting antennas
Shortly afterward, they fired napalm bombs on board the ship
218
00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:53,242
It seemed to me that this was the intention of the attackers
It involved sabotaging all means of communication
219
00:20:53,243 --> 00:20:54,955
And keep everyone off the ship
220
00:20:54,956 --> 00:21:00,021
So they can't fix these
Antennas or communications systems
221
00:21:01,125 --> 00:21:04,792
If it was an emergency, it would be better
The worst accident I've ever heard of
222
00:21:05,985 --> 00:21:08,173
The only reason we can
...of sending a distress signal
223
00:21:08,738 --> 00:21:14,500
It's because my insanely brave soldiers climbed up to fix the wires
Long antenna while shooting them
224
00:21:15,035 --> 00:21:22,728
By the end of the air strike, 8 soldiers were killed and 75 wounded
But worse was coming on the way
225
00:21:26,428 --> 00:21:30,330
We immediately set our lines and set off quickly
226
00:21:30,837 --> 00:21:32,348
And I, at least, didn't know why
227
00:21:33,181 --> 00:21:38,947
{\an9}
:(Come back Ariel)
Israeli Navy, 1967
228
00:21:32,584 --> 00:21:35,535
The sea was very calm and the day was bright
229
00:21:35,884 --> 00:21:42,279
I think it was around noon
daylight or a little earlier
230
00:21:42,365 --> 00:21:48,148
And just in our way, we were told that
...There is an unknown ship
231
00:21:51,142 --> 00:21:57,050
To the south or southwest of our location
So we quickly headed in that direction
232
00:21:57,250 --> 00:22:01,227
And soon we actually saw a ship
It is clearly a marine vessel
233
00:22:02,060 --> 00:22:06,170
The last thing I remember is the captain saying
:With the internal voice communication system
234
00:22:06,171 --> 00:22:09,662
"Prepare for torpedo attacks."
To the starboard of the ship
235
00:22:11,819 --> 00:22:16,217
And below the waterline under the ship
The soldiers in the engine room prepared for death
236
00:22:17,228 --> 00:22:21,141
The torpedoes came to us and they were going to happen
Holes in the belly of the ship and you will die immediately
237
00:22:21,142 --> 00:22:22,554
It will be like an atomic bomb
238
00:22:22,711 --> 00:22:29,522
Because cold water will collide with the heating device
Which will make hope non-existent
239
00:22:29,706 --> 00:22:34,045
So I swung at 19
And the best place to be was there
240
00:22:34,046 --> 00:22:40,486
Where you will get it and you will surrender there
So we waited for the torpedo and they said it passed safely
241
00:22:41,365 --> 00:22:44,150
This happened 3 and 4 different times
242
00:22:45,453 --> 00:22:51,604
We simply fired the torpedo in
We didn't see him for a minute, then we saw the wave
243
00:22:51,780 --> 00:22:56,483
Where he went directly to the ship
We confirmed that it was our torpedo that hit the ship
244
00:22:59,521 --> 00:23:05,678
He hit the ship and made it come out high
from the water and then descends with an inclination of less than 10 degrees
245
00:23:06,746 --> 00:23:10,510
But it was a slow drift
Where she was leaning little by little
246
00:23:10,829 --> 00:23:13,364
I said, oh my God, we will turn over
Upside down
247
00:23:13,558 --> 00:23:18,889
I was one of the lucky ones, someone did
The young boatswain attached himself to me temporarily
248
00:23:19,699 --> 00:23:23,419
He was the one who confronted the torpedo
Which blew the dye all over my body
249
00:23:24,049 --> 00:23:27,415
So blackness was covering me
But I was floating on the surface
250
00:23:27,991 --> 00:23:32,333
I lost both of my eardrums
My eyes were slightly damaged but I survived
251
00:23:33,582 --> 00:23:37,186
Almost everyone was killed
Move 20 feet away immediately
252
00:23:39,166 --> 00:23:47,515
We went straight back to work and said goodbye
The ship does not capsize or sink
253
00:23:50,168 --> 00:23:51,782
That didn't actually happen
254
00:23:54,620 --> 00:23:56,356
"That's enough for me now."
255
00:23:58,158 --> 00:24:02,934
Now Liberty is paralyzed
There is no power available for the steering wheel
256
00:24:03,806 --> 00:24:08,009
But a desperate distress signal was sent
Picked up by the US 6th Fleet
257
00:24:08,495 --> 00:24:10,610
Which is 500 miles away
On the coast of Crete
258
00:24:10,991 --> 00:24:13,458
An order was issued to strike back
259
00:24:14,170 --> 00:24:18,829
On board the aircraft carrier (America), preparations were made
Two bombers, while the escort fighter took off before them
260
00:24:19,712 --> 00:24:23,981
{\an9}
(Mike Rattigan)
(One of the soldiers of the aircraft carrier (America).
261
00:24:20,044 --> 00:24:27,885
We have prepared planes and I am sure they are
Launched before routine course
262
00:24:28,981 --> 00:24:33,076
"November condition" means that I-4 launchers...
Nuclear weapons will be used
263
00:24:33,678 --> 00:24:38,618
Amazingly, it was the United States
, is about to launch a nuclear attack against Egypt
264
00:24:38,799 --> 00:24:40,614
Which was assumed to be who
She attacked Liberty
265
00:24:40,788 --> 00:24:49,605
It was one of the quick procedures for the first cockpit
It was like a cover around the interior of the driving space
266
00:24:50,674 --> 00:24:55,298
There was also a guard from
Marines accompany the A-4 bomber
267
00:24:55,686 --> 00:25:01,218
This was an unusual experience
For me, I have never seen anything like it before
268
00:25:06,889 --> 00:25:11,662
{\an7}
:(Tony Hart)
Marine Communications Supervisor
269
00:25:05,177 --> 00:25:08,645
A quick telegram came, as I remember
...from an aircraft carrier
270
00:25:08,646 --> 00:25:11,335
Remember, they had launched an air control plane
271
00:25:11,868 --> 00:25:18,078
And launching such planes, you know, means
Traditionally they are aircraft armed with nuclear weapons
272
00:25:19,190 --> 00:25:21,955
Cairo was on the verge
To turn into ashes
273
00:25:23,405 --> 00:25:26,394
The US embassy has been notified
That an attack is imminent
274
00:25:27,445 --> 00:25:29,706
Richard Parker was the political consul
275
00:25:33,026 --> 00:25:34,535
...We received this message that states:
276
00:25:35,315 --> 00:25:42,273
However, the Navy was preparing
To attack Egypt because of the attack on Liberty
277
00:25:43,730 --> 00:25:47,391
Where they thought the Egyptians were
They were the ones who attacked her
278
00:25:47,702 --> 00:25:52,050
They were preparing to attack Egypt in response
279
00:25:54,853 --> 00:25:58,575
A few minutes later, Tony Hart...
Delivering a telegram from the Pentagon to the Navy
280
00:25:59,513 --> 00:26:01,509
"Recall the planes"
281
00:26:02,097 --> 00:26:07,325
My first thought was that we...
We don't want to do a mushroom cloud
282
00:26:09,812 --> 00:26:12,955
And that's why the planes were returned
It may be to rearm
283
00:26:13,408 --> 00:26:18,250
Ten minutes later, a voice call was made
Between the aircraft carrier (America) and Washington
284
00:26:18,956 --> 00:26:21,838
He made that call
The Minister of Defense personally
285
00:26:22,209 --> 00:26:26,360
Fleet Commander McNamara ordered
The sixth is to return the aircraft
286
00:26:26,890 --> 00:26:31,974
The fleet commander said to him: Are you sure?
He replied that he was absolutely sure, so he prepared the planes
287
00:26:34,808 --> 00:26:38,219
He sparked the attack on the ship
Liberty, unusual reaction.
288
00:26:38,962 --> 00:26:44,524
Nuclear weapons were on their way to Cairo
As a nuclear attack was only a few minutes away
289
00:26:44,823 --> 00:26:46,719
It was avoided at the last minute
290
00:26:47,834 --> 00:26:52,583
But it also appears that McNamara was unwilling
Directing planes to directly assist Liberty
291
00:26:53,094 --> 00:26:57,633
The fleet commander requested permission to send flights
Rescue aircraft consisting of conventionally armed aircraft
292
00:26:58,611 --> 00:27:09,696
The Admiral was speaking with Macnamara
He requested permission to re-launch any aircraft
293
00:27:10,072 --> 00:27:14,405
McNamara refused
And no planes will be launched
294
00:27:15,290 --> 00:27:20,502
And McNamara's the boss, you know
And he does not have to explain what he says
295
00:27:28,944 --> 00:27:33,713
Dave Lewis heard from another officer about...
McNamara dealt with the Sixth Fleet
296
00:27:33,748 --> 00:27:38,425
I'm Admiral Larry Jayce, commander
Naval Attack Force (60).
297
00:27:38,737 --> 00:27:43,503
He was so upset he said it was
He knows they will reject the request
298
00:27:44,017 --> 00:27:47,898
I had no objection to that
But he had to put that off his shoulders
299
00:27:48,985 --> 00:27:55,622
He sent planes and notified Washington
Via the intercom network
300
00:27:55,787 --> 00:27:59,706
So he's obligated to inform McNamara
And Lyndon Johnson
301
00:28:00,354 --> 00:28:03,957
And he made the planes come back because of Robert McNamara
302
00:28:04,916 --> 00:28:12,534
Then he mentioned that he thought about sending planes back
Unable to carry nuclear warheads
303
00:28:13,442 --> 00:28:21,105
He informed Washington again, and ordered Robert McNamara
Once again the planes were returned and the order was intercepted
304
00:28:21,301 --> 00:28:23,187
Lyndon Johnson got in on the line
305
00:28:23,717 --> 00:28:25,812
Therefore, he was not interested
Whether the ship will sink
306
00:28:25,968 --> 00:28:28,047
He will not embarrass our allies
307
00:28:29,408 --> 00:28:33,348
Robert McNamara has never discussed his role
On the controversial issue of Liberty
308
00:28:34,772 --> 00:28:40,324
...you prepared planes sent to rescue Liberty.
I'm sure this is completely false!
309
00:28:41,341 --> 00:28:44,209
Why did you send the signal to the Sixth Fleet? -
No, not at all -
310
00:28:44,369 --> 00:28:47,354
I don't know anything happened
I didn't find time to find out
311
00:28:47,697 --> 00:28:52,753
But regarding all these allegations, we...
We sent planes and then turned them back
312
00:28:53,132 --> 00:28:56,228
And we intended to allow the Israelis
By sinking Liberty
313
00:28:56,229 --> 00:28:58,572
I don't know anything about all this
314
00:29:01,381 --> 00:29:04,349
While the fleet was launching its planes and returning them
315
00:29:04,867 --> 00:29:08,279
Liberty was still under attack
Via Israeli torpedo boats
316
00:29:11,029 --> 00:29:13,748
One can see a breakthrough
Automated bullets
317
00:29:13,749 --> 00:29:17,269
Metal pieces falling
Throughout the engine
318
00:29:17,269 --> 00:29:21,401
As if someone is trying to get in
To the heater to blow it
319
00:29:21,729 --> 00:29:23,876
They knew what they were doing well
320
00:29:24,486 --> 00:29:29,749
We were, effectively, dead in the water
The news came to us that we were preparing to abandon ship
321
00:29:30,123 --> 00:29:33,959
This just means preparing the boarding
And approaching the lifeboats
322
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,953
So I went first and opened the cabin gate
I looked for boats
323
00:29:38,287 --> 00:29:43,579
I found it disappeared or was burning
And at the same moment I looked at the stern of the ship
324
00:29:43,710 --> 00:29:48,777
I saw one of the torpedo boats firing
consistently on one of our lifeboats
325
00:29:48,778 --> 00:29:54,130
It was submerged in water and we cut ropes
The boats were burned or destroyed
326
00:29:54,500 --> 00:29:58,812
So it floated behind us and it was
Automatically fires on lifeboats
327
00:29:59,126 --> 00:30:03,229
I was sure that if there was anyone on board
He certainly wouldn't be alive
328
00:30:05,099 --> 00:30:07,611
This happened so fast
It didn't seem real
329
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,044
And all the attack was not
It seems real to me
330
00:30:10,793 --> 00:30:15,569
I was upset with her
I didn't understand why they did this to us
331
00:30:15,740 --> 00:30:18,236
I did not understand anything at that moment
332
00:30:18,591 --> 00:30:23,564
These soldiers died in vain
They were slaughtered in vain
333
00:30:32,854 --> 00:30:37,272
The assault is over, but the process is over
His cover-up was about to begin
334
00:30:37,972 --> 00:30:40,781
At four o'clock, an attachment was heard
US Navy in Tel Aviv
335
00:30:41,335 --> 00:30:45,445
He heard from the Minister of Defense that the ship
“I was attacked…” by mistake
336
00:30:47,729 --> 00:30:51,411
The US Embassy responded immediately via a report
Send to the State Department in Washington
337
00:30:54,116 --> 00:30:58,653
{\an9}
(Lucius Battle)
US Assistant Secretary of State, 1967-68
338
00:30:52,681 --> 00:31:00,272
I was the first person to receive the news, and it was
The immediate impression is that this operation was not an accident
339
00:31:00,984 --> 00:31:03,950
Just before ten o'clock in the morning
Washington time
340
00:31:04,154 --> 00:31:06,695
The news reached President Johnson
341
00:31:07,380 --> 00:31:14,261
He was inclined to my opinion of it
It must be a planned attack
342
00:31:15,662 --> 00:31:21,261
Johnson's firm belief that the attack
It was planned, recorded in the minutes of the meeting the next day
343
00:31:23,967 --> 00:31:27,179
Among those attending was a director
Intelligence Agency Richard Helms
344
00:31:29,154 --> 00:31:37,675
And I know that in the first 24 hours, it was
The president is very angry that something like this happened
345
00:31:38,052 --> 00:31:40,797
And whatever ideas you shared
Johnson's inner circle secretly
346
00:31:41,115 --> 00:31:45,402
They officially accepted the apologies
Submitted by Israel and its justifications
347
00:31:46,644 --> 00:31:50,010
Everyone seemed to be hit by it
Severe shock from the Israelis
348
00:31:50,437 --> 00:31:58,294
But this impression was not expressed
With the positions declared to the general public outside this hall
349
00:31:58,444 --> 00:32:01,548
I think we overprotected
The Israelis at that moment
350
00:32:04,127 --> 00:32:14,803
I think the feeling is that political pressure
It may be greatly dispersed or perhaps destroyed
351
00:32:15,766 --> 00:32:22,299
He reminded me of the truth and I stand by this
Room, have you read the New York Times?
352
00:32:22,651 --> 00:32:26,682
The attack on the American ship
It is on page 29
353
00:32:27,459 --> 00:32:32,176
{\an9}
(Richard Helms)
Director of the CIA
1966-1973
354
00:32:27,380 --> 00:32:29,732
While it should have been on the first page
355
00:32:30,769 --> 00:32:36,718
And then I think various people came out
The matter was from him and so on, so he changed his mind
356
00:32:36,719 --> 00:32:41,444
But I don't think he changed his mind
He just changed his behavior
357
00:32:42,396 --> 00:32:47,017
President Johnson's public positions allowed
Israel also covered up the attack
358
00:32:48,166 --> 00:32:51,563
It has been Israel's firm position
It is a series of errors
359
00:32:52,098 --> 00:32:54,779
None of the pilots agreed
Previous to the statement
360
00:32:55,340 --> 00:32:58,506
But one of the torpedo boats' sailors
He gave us his story
361
00:32:59,732 --> 00:33:06,477
We were inexperienced at that time
We were reckless in using weapons
362
00:33:07,126 --> 00:33:11,382
It was a war zone, and it wasn't
No one should be there
363
00:33:11,383 --> 00:33:15,794
And anyone who is there
He does so at his own risk
364
00:33:16,489 --> 00:33:21,110
Israel admits that reconnaissance aircraft
She had identified the Liberty ship in the morning
365
00:33:21,831 --> 00:33:24,451
The Air Force informed the command headquarters
Marine Corps in Haifa
366
00:33:24,452 --> 00:33:28,022
Where the site has been marked
Ship in combat data map
367
00:33:28,792 --> 00:33:34,026
Later that morning, he received Marine Corps headquarters
Reports that the Sinai coast is being bombed from the sea
368
00:33:34,462 --> 00:33:38,684
But in the meantime, according to the Israelis' claim
Liberty was wiped off their map
369
00:33:39,419 --> 00:33:42,191
And when the boat patrols went
To find the source of that alleged bombing
370
00:33:42,530 --> 00:33:45,121
It was the only ship that
They found her there, Liberty
371
00:33:46,056 --> 00:33:50,313
Then the patrol boats misread
The mysterious ship's speed is on their radar
372
00:33:51,621 --> 00:33:55,708
They thought it was sailing at 28 knots
Therefore it will be nothing but an enemy warship
373
00:33:57,021 --> 00:34:04,786
The way this works is by measuring distance
The radar direction of the target on the screen
374
00:34:05,297 --> 00:34:13,039
If you do this for a short time, i.e. a few minutes
The differences in speed can be enormous
375
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,657
Anything would be of return
Backward and 30 knots forward
376
00:34:17,979 --> 00:34:20,563
So this is a very normal error
377
00:34:20,946 --> 00:34:25,460
For this, the Air Force was called in
To hunt fast-moving targets
378
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,973
And then, as Israel claims
The Mariners made another fatal mistake
379
00:34:31,290 --> 00:34:34,083
That is, they suspected that ship
...on the ship "Al-Qusayr."
380
00:34:34,350 --> 00:34:37,184
It is an Egyptian transport ship, it is estimated
It's half the size of the Liberty ship
381
00:34:41,053 --> 00:34:44,941
It looked very similar to flying
Although there were differences
382
00:34:45,591 --> 00:34:51,617
And you have to remember again that it is
It had already been bombed by aircraft
383
00:34:53,490 --> 00:34:56,595
This was one of the news of the attack
Once it reaches the head of the Navy
384
00:34:56,899 --> 00:34:59,044
Which happens to be Udi Ariel's father
385
00:34:59,668 --> 00:35:04,624
He was located in the port of Haifa, far from communication
Radio and just returned to the Marine Corps headquarters
386
00:35:08,077 --> 00:35:13,002
Of course I was very angry
They fired torpedoes
387
00:35:13,547 --> 00:35:19,095
It was clear to me that she was not
Cruising at 28 knots
388
00:35:19,969 --> 00:35:29,218
So I immediately asked for identification and reported
That there is a flag raised across a flag carrier
389
00:35:29,835 --> 00:35:33,949
Then the first definition of the ship is that it is Soviet
390
00:35:33,679 --> 00:35:38,387
{\an9}
:(Shlomo Ariel)
Chief of the Israeli Navy, 1967
391
00:35:35,683 --> 00:35:44,121
Then I said, Oh my God! Come closer
They approached and recognized it as an American ship
392
00:35:44,438 --> 00:35:46,232
And whatever the identity of the ship
393
00:35:46,513 --> 00:35:50,933
The Israelis vehemently denied that they fired
Fire on lifeboats in the water
394
00:35:52,156 --> 00:35:54,813
I can't believe it, I've never seen anything like this
395
00:35:55,142 --> 00:36:03,472
There was nothing resembling boats
Survival and we certainly didn't shoot her
396
00:36:05,981 --> 00:36:10,072
We deserve some of the blame, not all of it
397
00:36:10,418 --> 00:36:14,015
We made most mistakes
They made many mistakes
398
00:36:14,371 --> 00:36:21,564
On the spot, and on the one hand, Liberty
You weren't supposed to be there
399
00:36:22,825 --> 00:36:28,194
But evidence indicates that Israel knows his identity
The ship, and she wanted it to sink quickly
400
00:36:29,502 --> 00:36:34,219
This was an intelligence analyst
The Air Force tracks and intercepts the attack's radio wave
401
00:36:35,788 --> 00:36:42,570
I was obsessed with communications
Since its beginning, the commander of the Israeli raid
402
00:36:42,772 --> 00:36:48,517
Among his inquiries from the ground control base
One can clearly conclude
403
00:36:46,265 --> 00:36:50,924
{\an9}
(Richard Block)
US Air Force
404
00:36:48,870 --> 00:36:55,318
He received specific orders to attack those
The ship before it takes off from Earth
405
00:36:55,557 --> 00:36:58,968
When he saw that it was an American ship
Understand these commands
406
00:36:59,305 --> 00:37:01,758
He directed his suspicions to the ground control base
407
00:37:02,116 --> 00:37:11,668
And that very conversation that I was obsessing over
She specifically indicated that the ground rule was mentioned
408
00:37:12,138 --> 00:37:17,001
He continued to attack even though he was still
Doubts creep into the mind of the Israeli pilot
409
00:37:17,177 --> 00:37:21,328
He said: “No, it is an American ship
“Repeat those orders again
410
00:37:21,499 --> 00:37:26,078
He was told: “Go quickly
Attack this ship!
411
00:37:57,021 --> 00:37:58,701
That night was very long
412
00:37:59,851 --> 00:38:02,403
I was thinking at that moment that I hope we don't drown
413
00:38:02,660 --> 00:38:08,230
Because I know the extent of the destruction
I looked down at him that we were in a very bad situation
414
00:38:09,085 --> 00:38:15,066
There were many of our comrades dead and injured
Seriously injured on that ship, including the captain
415
00:38:15,587 --> 00:38:20,559
With which he had regained consciousness
End of deflection after 15 hours
416
00:38:20,896 --> 00:38:25,384
He was sitting in his chair, motionless
And without saying much
417
00:38:26,724 --> 00:38:29,125
Finally, help will come on the way
418
00:38:29,521 --> 00:38:34,363
Where ships from the Sixth Fleet sailed
Toward Liberty, and you'll reach it the next morning
419
00:38:36,639 --> 00:38:41,843
It was an exciting sight to see
Such a quantity of marine pieces
420
00:38:42,013 --> 00:38:47,297
Like carriers, so we looked
And we said, oh my God, what a fleet
421
00:38:48,145 --> 00:38:51,526
Where were you?
Why didn't you come?
422
00:38:53,672 --> 00:38:56,276
Everyone was on board
The ship said the same thing
423
00:38:59,282 --> 00:39:02,877
The Liberty ship is heading now
To Malta for emergency repairs
424
00:39:03,843 --> 00:39:06,288
An important guest has arrived on the ship
Coming on a helicopter
425
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,874
Admiral Isaac Kidd
Leads an investigation into the attack
426
00:39:11,563 --> 00:39:13,883
The sailors were surprised by his behavior
427
00:39:14,410 --> 00:39:17,249
I thought he was a weird person
Because he took off his stars that he wore
428
00:39:17,250 --> 00:39:22,320
He walked around like a normal man
Even though everyone knew him
429
00:39:22,663 --> 00:39:26,811
But I thought this was strange
I did not accept this so easily
430
00:39:27,197 --> 00:39:36,515
He took off his eagle logo and pretended to be who
He included the soldiers, and said, “Tell me everything that happened.”
431
00:39:37,138 --> 00:39:43,355
So they told him what they saw there
After a while, he re-hung his stars
432
00:39:43,356 --> 00:39:47,517
Then he said: “I don't want you to talk
Absolutely not to any of your colleagues
433
00:39:47,518 --> 00:39:50,827
"Do not hold meetings here."
434
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:57,249
Before his departure, he stated that anything said must be done.
To be directed to your department officials and your captain
435
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,302
“And do not talk to your families about the incident
And he was very strict
436
00:40:03,140 --> 00:40:06,555
Meanwhile, all have been evacuated
Wounded people on rescue ships
437
00:40:09,304 --> 00:40:12,214
I remember them carrying me
For that vertical plane on the basket
438
00:40:12,215 --> 00:40:16,278
Tightly tied on all sides
From head to toe
439
00:40:16,514 --> 00:40:20,049
The anchor men did not know which
An end used to place my head from behind
440
00:40:20,397 --> 00:40:26,931
And all I could think was what a way
Shameful to die after surviving a torpedo
441
00:40:34,556 --> 00:40:38,683
They took with them the wounded and dead
To the aircraft carrier America
442
00:40:39,056 --> 00:40:42,195
They were brought into an area
Field hospital
443
00:40:43,220 --> 00:40:49,762
When the US Navy
With us actually until then
444
00:41:27,848 --> 00:41:31,846
An unarmed American ship was hit
Attacked by Israeli planes and boats
445
00:41:32,485 --> 00:41:36,443
34 sailors were killed, and no government took action
United States something that works
446
00:41:37,310 --> 00:41:41,692
For the first time in 35 years
We can explain why
447
00:41:43,914 --> 00:41:48,292
The theory sheds light on the complexity
The intertwining of American-Israeli relations
448
00:41:49,178 --> 00:41:54,614
Some believe that the ship may have been eavesdropped
On information about Israeli operations in Sinai
449
00:41:55,964 --> 00:41:58,328
I think they intended to attack the ship
450
00:41:58,862 --> 00:42:02,723
As for what is the reason for them?
They do, I'm not sure about it
451
00:42:03,112 --> 00:42:07,369
Perhaps they felt that we were...
We're eavesdropping on Liberty
452
00:42:07,370 --> 00:42:11,834
For some dialogues and other things
Which they don't want us to know about
453
00:42:12,655 --> 00:42:18,493
They were involved in a lot of practices
On the ground across the warpath
454
00:42:19,070 --> 00:42:22,298
I don't think they wanted to
To know what they did
455
00:42:27,782 --> 00:42:32,072
I don't think it matters to them
America was not the enemy
456
00:42:32,223 --> 00:42:42,196
They did not in any way implicate us
Or threaten us or worry us, no
457
00:42:43,019 --> 00:42:45,881
And I didn't even know
What is Liberty's mission?
458
00:42:46,062 --> 00:42:49,784
What is its actual purpose?
Is it to know the progress of war battles?
459
00:42:49,951 --> 00:42:51,345
I don't know!
460
00:43:03,412 --> 00:43:05,343
But there is a more comprehensive theory
461
00:43:05,540 --> 00:43:08,138
It is to be directed
Blame the attack on Egypt
462
00:43:08,687 --> 00:43:11,513
Thus, America is being dragged into the war
463
00:43:11,523 --> 00:43:15,179
It was implemented across a group
Informed and specific people in Washington
464
00:43:16,346 --> 00:43:19,345
Captain always had doubts
Liberty, this is the real photo.
465
00:43:20,177 --> 00:43:25,028
In 1997, at Arlington Cemetery
He broke his 30-year silence
466
00:43:27,542 --> 00:43:39,761
For many years, I've wanted to believe
The attack on Liberty was a complete mistake
467
00:43:41,473 --> 00:43:47,749
It turns out that was not the case
Misidentification
468
00:43:48,171 --> 00:43:55,099
I think the time has come for my government
The State of Israel and the United States
469
00:43:55,759 --> 00:44:08,830
To be presented to the crew of the Liberty ship
And the rest of the American people know the facts of what happened
470
00:44:09,713 --> 00:44:16,435
The reason for the attack on Liberty
Thirty years ago today
471
00:44:18,576 --> 00:44:22,903
Less than two years later, McGonaill was buried
Same in Arlington Cemetery
472
00:44:23,524 --> 00:44:27,028
And shortly before his death
He sent a message to President Clinton
473
00:44:27,380 --> 00:44:33,731
Calling on Israel to publicly acknowledge that its armed forces
She was the one who deliberately attacked the Liberty
474
00:44:34,391 --> 00:44:38,531
It wasn't Captain McGonagill
Just an ordinary captain in the Navy
475
00:44:38,927 --> 00:44:42,826
...But he was a friend and captain of sailors
476
00:44:43,277 --> 00:44:48,438
At the end of his life, McGonaill stated what he thought
To his old friend, the head of the engine room
477
00:44:48,613 --> 00:44:55,936
The captain and I were very close, every time
I used to see him when he was in the hospital
478
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:10,044
He was crying and called me 3 years ago
From his death, his condition will deteriorate after that
479
00:45:12,246 --> 00:45:16,387
I sat in a room with him while he was there
...in good condition, and he started telling me
480
00:45:17,765 --> 00:45:22,404
There are scoundrels who finished us off
481
00:45:22,782 --> 00:45:25,380
So I said what are you talking about?
482
00:45:25,572 --> 00:45:28,826
McGonagill was going to say that
If I sink the Liberty with all its sailors
483
00:45:29,242 --> 00:45:33,022
Blame will be directed, of course
To Egypt and its Soviet supporter
484
00:45:35,425 --> 00:45:43,576
We were about to be swamped, even
It can be said that Egypt and Russia did this
485
00:45:43,979 --> 00:45:49,621
In this way, the states could be included
United in the fray to help Israel
486
00:45:51,354 --> 00:45:56,310
We found evidence that this operation was part of a plan
The largest was hatched by both Israeli and American intelligence
487
00:45:56,669 --> 00:46:01,661
This was to invade Egypt and overthrow Abdel Nasser
The plan's code name is (Sinai-D
488
00:46:02,957 --> 00:46:07,113
The main character was James Angleton
Israel's ally, the CIA
489
00:46:07,429 --> 00:46:10,623
To whom a memorial was erected
Khairi Nader from Mossad
490
00:46:11,540 --> 00:46:14,784
The first time Jim saw the Sinai plan - Dr
It was almost by accident
491
00:46:15,727 --> 00:46:23,187
I went to the Lyndon Baines Johnson library
To request all library documents in this regard
492
00:46:24,547 --> 00:46:30,315
A one-page paper appeared out of nowhere
“It is a meeting minutes” of Committee 303
493
00:46:31,513 --> 00:46:38,474
Committee 303 is a secret group that was...
It meets in the old executive office near White House Street
494
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:47,694
The 303 Committee was simply a device.
To verify covert operations of any kind
495
00:46:48,552 --> 00:46:54,908
Directing decisions on behalf of the President even
He is not harmed if any of them fail
496
00:46:55,646 --> 00:47:01,318
The committee met here in April 1967
To discuss a sensitive project for the Ministry of Defense
497
00:47:01,805 --> 00:47:02,818
And it contained
...(Liberty ship status).
498
00:47:02,820 --> 00:47:06,366
With a submarine, an operation involving
Extremely dangerous, to help Israel
499
00:47:07,135 --> 00:47:11,962
He wrote by hand on the record
"A submarine within the waters of the United Arab Republic"
500
00:47:12,556 --> 00:47:14,045
It is another term that refers to the name of Egypt
501
00:47:14,756 --> 00:47:23,278
Especially since the Liberty file offered that
This has to do with the submarine that was near us
502
00:47:25,018 --> 00:47:27,716
Operation (Sinai-D) and all other matters
503
00:47:28,309 --> 00:47:30,762
Dave Lewis heard too
Regarding Operation Sinai - Dr
504
00:47:31,325 --> 00:47:36,442
One of his officers told him that the ship was carrying
Secret documents related to the submarine plan
505
00:47:37,127 --> 00:47:40,101
He said there were sealed orders in my safe
506
00:47:40,836 --> 00:47:47,219
Plan (Sinai-D) contains communications
By submarine in case of war
507
00:47:49,114 --> 00:47:53,039
That's all I know about this matter
The command envelope was not opened
508
00:47:53,201 --> 00:47:58,583
When the attack happened, he was not there
Time, I don't know what it says
509
00:48:00,306 --> 00:48:04,356
What a mysterious relationship that is
Might be associated with the Liberty ship?
510
00:48:04,980 --> 00:48:09,211
Why was it discussed before?
The outbreak of war in two full months?
511
00:48:09,642 --> 00:48:12,206
...The process is still very sensitive
512
00:48:12,541 --> 00:48:16,372
So we didn't get any comment about it
From American and Israeli intelligence
513
00:48:16,886 --> 00:48:23,512
Operation (Sinai-D), if I had heard of it
...If you heard, then
514
00:48:23,677 --> 00:48:24,782
What was it?
515
00:48:24,765 --> 00:48:29,573
{\an7}
:(Rafi Eitan)
Israeli intelligence
Mossad, 1967)
516
00:48:35,686 --> 00:48:42,280
I suggest we stop the interview from here
So what do you say? Why do you want it?
517
00:48:42,460 --> 00:48:49,076
Why don't you talk about Operation Sinai D?
It has been 34 years
518
00:48:55,915 --> 00:49:02,141
Mandatory signature...and loyalty...to my country
519
00:49:04,489 --> 00:49:06,252
Is she very sensitive?
520
00:49:07,985 --> 00:49:14,944
...I am very...
And I know exactly what I can tell you
521
00:49:15,283 --> 00:49:19,536
And I know exactly where I stand
And here I stand!
522
00:49:21,099 --> 00:49:25,042
Operation (Sinai-D) was
A joint Israeli-American project
523
00:49:25,223 --> 00:49:33,418
Using submarines and other covert types
From intelligence gathering efforts
524
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:38,961
Against the United Arab Republic
But there is a logical explanation for this
525
00:49:39,275 --> 00:49:43,811
Which is that this republic was
Fully armed by the Soviets
526
00:49:43,990 --> 00:49:48,734
There are Soviet advisors there
The Soviet Union was our enemy at that time
527
00:49:49,261 --> 00:49:54,108
We were concerned about the Middle East surrounding it
The turmoil, and the situation with the Soviet problem
528
00:49:54,435 --> 00:49:58,060
We were worried as soon as the Soviets showed up anywhere
529
00:49:58,258 --> 00:50:01,919
Where they had a great influence on me
United Arab Republic
530
00:50:02,101 --> 00:50:06,776
Hence these processes existed
With Israeli intelligence
531
00:50:08,679 --> 00:50:13,134
We were strategic reconnaissance specialists
Tactical and image processing
532
00:50:13,841 --> 00:50:17,109
And we probably flew
On that day, he completed 8 missions
533
00:50:17,818 --> 00:50:19,890
We found comprehensive devastating bombing operations
534
00:50:20,462 --> 00:50:28,673
All airports were exposed to chaos
Rows of planes to be destroyed while they are crouching
535
00:50:29,267 --> 00:50:36,712
And based on what we saw in that movie
It was an irresistible destruction of the enemy
536
00:50:32,252 --> 00:50:36,666
{\an7}
:(Greg Wright)
US Air Force
537
00:50:39,038 --> 00:50:42,345
This was a secret operation
Part of (Sinai-D) as well
538
00:50:43,042 --> 00:50:48,078
Before the outbreak of war, the team was sent secretly
To an Israeli air base in the Negev desert
539
00:50:48,844 --> 00:50:51,535
Where men wore costumes without
Military ranks and did not have IDs
540
00:50:52,066 --> 00:50:56,558
While four reconnaissance planes disappeared
American as Israeli aircraft
541
00:50:58,316 --> 00:51:07,567
Rapid painting of aircraft has been done
To appear as Israeli aircraft
542
00:51:07,731 --> 00:51:14,713
So to match
Natural Israeli aviation signs
543
00:51:14,876 --> 00:51:19,820
No! Not a word of this is true
I don't know who this man is!
544
00:51:20,171 --> 00:51:25,423
I don't know if this is pure fantasy
Or he is dreaming or making up this story
545
00:51:25,588 --> 00:51:27,665
Nothing!
546
00:51:29,260 --> 00:51:32,212
They can deny it now, that's okay!
547
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:38,291
Take a look at the information
Reconnaissance possessed by the Israelis
548
00:51:38,784 --> 00:51:44,866
It was published publicly in
Time and Life magazines, and I think Look
549
00:51:45,042 --> 00:51:49,757
This was our work, and it must be the Israelis'
They know there are reconnaissance planes
550
00:51:50,249 --> 00:51:54,853
They cannot have cameras
Aiming for the bombs in those movies
551
00:51:57,195 --> 00:52:00,451
And if it is true or America
She was secretly involved in the war against Egypt
552
00:52:00,795 --> 00:52:02,957
This is a must
Conceal it at all costs
553
00:52:03,125 --> 00:52:04,713
This involvement would be very dangerous
554
00:52:04,895 --> 00:52:11,717
It means that (Lyndon Johnson) and those around him
Around him, they were lying to us openly and day after day
555
00:52:12,847 --> 00:52:16,912
This may be a minor thing for most people
But it is important to us
556
00:52:17,459 --> 00:52:25,737
However, what is important is what it means
American participation in the attack on Egypt
557
00:52:26,399 --> 00:52:28,592
It is very dangerous work
On our part, we had committed it
558
00:52:28,914 --> 00:52:34,232
It might destroy our relationship
With the Arab world for a long time to come
559
00:52:34,233 --> 00:52:37,679
6 Arab countries have already established it
To cut ties with us
560
00:52:56,184 --> 00:53:01,790
Whatever lies behind the attack, it is a tragedy
Humanity occurred through the killing of 34 young men
561
00:53:03,044 --> 00:53:04,667
Most of them were killed below the ship's dock
562
00:53:05,051 --> 00:53:09,049
Their remains were not exhumed
Until Liberty finally arrived in Malta
563
00:53:13,208 --> 00:53:16,712
By then there were five more bodies
It had drifted away from the blast hole
564
00:53:19,300 --> 00:53:24,150
The full horror of what happened has not become clear
Only after drying the ship's basin
565
00:53:24,868 --> 00:53:28,516
I remember taking that picture
I remember seeing body parts
566
00:53:29,047 --> 00:53:36,448
It is mainly connected with wires and ropes
The upper part as seen from the top of the head
567
00:53:36,792 --> 00:53:39,755
Many bodies were hanging there
It was in the meat preservation room
568
00:53:40,122 --> 00:53:42,647
We had to go downstairs to start cleaning the place
569
00:53:44,545 --> 00:53:50,171
One of the dead soldiers was Alan Blow, a language expert
NSA who was suddenly sent abroad
570
00:53:50,948 --> 00:53:53,728
His wife didn't even know
He was on board the Liberty
571
00:53:55,711 --> 00:54:00,145
I was sitting in a park in Washington, DC
572
00:54:00,329 --> 00:54:04,420
I eat my lunch at one o'clock in the afternoon
Almost noon on June 8th
573
00:54:04,613 --> 00:54:07,643
It was a beautiful, sunny day
574
00:54:08,135 --> 00:54:13,961
And 15-20 feet away from me
One of them had a radio
575
00:54:13,962 --> 00:54:17,493
The administration is dealing with the crisis of the June war
Between Arabs and Jews
576
00:54:17,663 --> 00:54:22,214
This reached my ears
The report is on the radio
577
00:54:22,587 --> 00:54:27,254
An American ship was attacked
To attack in the Mediterranean
578
00:54:27,767 --> 00:54:33,751
My heart fell even though it was not
I knew he was on that ship
579
00:54:33,939 --> 00:54:36,644
I was still very afraid
580
00:54:36,959 --> 00:54:42,645
So I took my lunch and went to my office
I contacted the National Security Agency
581
00:54:42,826 --> 00:54:45,635
They answered me in the affirmative
And they were looking for me
582
00:54:52,376 --> 00:54:55,509
Alan Blue was later buried in a cemetery
arlington national
583
00:54:56,416 --> 00:55:01,605
His widow had to do so the previous month
She shares her home with monitors from the agency
584
00:55:02,627 --> 00:55:06,603
They didn't tell her anything, and took control
By communicating with the outside world
585
00:55:06,946 --> 00:55:15,155
I think they wished not to
The press never reached us at that time
586
00:55:17,598 --> 00:55:23,529
No one from the agency contacted me
National Security to explain what happened
587
00:55:23,882 --> 00:55:30,313
There were many employees
At the service, I was not sure of their identities
588
00:55:31,731 --> 00:55:32,961
Meanwhile, in Malta
589
00:55:33,304 --> 00:55:38,078
Liberty's soldiers were horrified by the way...
Direct Admiral Kidd to investigate the Navy
590
00:55:38,478 --> 00:55:42,873
It seemed that he had decided in advance
He was ignoring crucial evidence
591
00:55:43,047 --> 00:55:46,401
I testified about three
Key topics I witnessed first hand
592
00:55:46,403 --> 00:55:52,320
The first concerns the captain's condition, as I witnessed
With the armor-piercing weapon that penetrated our ship
593
00:55:52,490 --> 00:55:59,249
I also testified about automatic shooting
Lifeboats by Israeli torpedo boats
594
00:56:00,083 --> 00:56:04,289
My testimony was as I mentioned
For two to three hours
595
00:56:05,194 --> 00:56:13,069
I didn't know until months later that
Most of my testimony was never recorded
596
00:56:14,670 --> 00:56:19,742
McGonagill was knocked unconscious during the attack
So the chief engineer took command of the ship
597
00:56:20,507 --> 00:56:23,259
However, who is conducting the investigation?
He wasn't interested in what he was saying
598
00:56:24,704 --> 00:56:26,904
I think our testimony was not recorded live
599
00:56:27,763 --> 00:56:30,979
Before I got off the ship
I stood outside the door
600
00:56:31,872 --> 00:56:39,871
I wanted to get in there to perform
With what I have in those records that are recorded
601
00:56:40,749 --> 00:56:44,528
But he wanted to keep me away
About that investigation almost completely
602
00:56:47,512 --> 00:56:51,946
Naval Headquarters Europe conducted a review
Investigation report by Merlin Starling
603
00:56:52,306 --> 00:56:54,210
Who later took over the position
Chief Marine Corps Attorney
604
00:56:55,819 --> 00:57:00,184
The report did not appear to support Kidd's conclusion
That Israel had attacked the ship by mistake
605
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:07,672
{\an9}
(Merlin Starling)
Legal affairs officer
US Navy, 1967-68
606
00:57:02,770 --> 00:57:10,735
I simply could not find a basis
Evidence supports that conclusion
607
00:57:10,904 --> 00:57:15,120
I was having a problem
Note with the record
608
00:57:15,641 --> 00:57:26,789
Regarding diligence in finding
Proof, certificate or other evidence
609
00:57:27,637 --> 00:57:37,693
Which will support evidence, opinions or conclusions
Prepared and concluded by the course of the investigation
610
00:57:43,482 --> 00:57:46,265
And at the present time, despite the passage of 35 years
611
00:57:46,758 --> 00:57:52,200
The Liberty ship incident remains highly sensitive
So the US Navy refuses to comment on it
612
00:57:57,473 --> 00:57:59,982
I think there was a cover-up
613
00:58:00,668 --> 00:58:04,246
And the details were known
From the conversations of these crews
614
00:58:04,697 --> 00:58:06,459
It was very bad
615
00:58:06,623 --> 00:58:11,451
How will my opinion differ from your opinion?
...the American about what happened
616
00:58:12,159 --> 00:58:16,848
That they intentionally attacked this ship
617
00:58:17,688 --> 00:58:24,291
No excuse can be found for what they say
That this was just a mistake
618
00:58:25,039 --> 00:58:29,155
And, of lesser importance, President Johnson
Like Richard Helms
619
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:31,926
He was also receiving airwaves interceptions
620
00:58:33,107 --> 00:58:39,272
It was similar to a telegram or telex
Sent to all intelligence agencies
621
00:58:39,461 --> 00:58:42,193
And to the White House at the same time
622
00:58:42,488 --> 00:58:46,253
Because an American ship is exposed
To be attacked by a friendly force
623
00:58:46,418 --> 00:58:50,533
Anything is dangerous
Or harmful to the United States
624
00:58:50,743 --> 00:58:55,915
The president must see him directly
Within a short time, he will receive it
625
00:58:57,117 --> 00:59:01,635
Did Johnson order a cover-up?
626
00:59:01,636 --> 00:59:04,097
No, not to my knowledge
627
00:59:05,257 --> 00:59:11,688
But people were sworn to secrecy
...and the Navy investigation is considered by many to be different
628
00:59:11,688 --> 00:59:15,835
Robert McNamara is the one who answers.
I will not answer these questions
629
00:59:21,130 --> 00:59:24,522
I won't say anything about the delivery, and it's over
630
00:59:29,025 --> 00:59:31,426
As for Israel, they quickly rose
Their usual work in these cases
631
00:59:31,993 --> 00:59:34,880
Where a sponsored investigation was conducted
Navy Commander Shlomo Ariel
632
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:39,064
It was concluded that the attack was caused by
A series of grave Israeli mistakes
633
00:59:39,493 --> 00:59:43,328
Otherwise, no charges were filed
To anyone and no party was tried militarily
634
00:59:44,571 --> 00:59:55,305
They did not consider anyone guilty of committing
Any crime, negligence or anything like that
635
00:59:55,714 --> 01:00:04,838
But I don't want to make an apology for that
Because it was beyond my powers
636
01:00:10,602 --> 01:00:13,953
After spending a month in Malta
The Liberty ship has been partially restored
637
01:00:14,129 --> 01:00:16,409
She was ready to begin her journey back home
638
01:00:24,402 --> 01:00:26,185
...This was a very strange scene because...
639
01:00:26,641 --> 01:00:31,813
We should have watched more
Once the place where the torpedo hit
640
01:00:32,156 --> 01:00:35,769
Check the places for leaks
From there inhale the smell of fuel
641
01:00:36,135 --> 01:00:40,470
It was a very strange situation because my colleagues
Those who died on the ship were there
642
01:00:40,623 --> 01:00:42,863
And I swear as if they were
They were talking to me
643
01:01:05,297 --> 01:01:09,320
We arrived at a festive festival
And the local press
644
01:01:09,700 --> 01:01:12,563
We missed our family and the warmth of hospitality
We miss everyone
645
01:01:20,695 --> 01:01:23,678
Anyway, they brought us in and made us dock
646
01:01:23,859 --> 01:01:27,911
There was only one person on the ship
Its structure, nothing else remains of it
647
01:01:28,242 --> 01:01:33,229
One of the things that bothered me about returning home
I survived everything that happened
648
01:01:33,393 --> 01:01:40,651
But it's a matter of going home and facing people
For those who have lost their loved ones, it is very difficult
649
01:01:40,826 --> 01:01:45,054
The soldiers were ordered not to talk about the attack
They were threatened with being brought before a military trial
650
01:01:45,433 --> 01:01:49,085
The navy then dispersed them
He did not appoint two of them to the same place
651
01:01:50,333 --> 01:01:52,619
Even their medals were awarded in secret
652
01:01:54,575 --> 01:01:59,775
I remember getting the Purple Heart medal
At the captain's office in the port of Bremerhaven, Germany
653
01:02:00,092 --> 01:02:05,155
With a strong warning not to mention
Where did you ever get it?
654
01:02:05,836 --> 01:02:12,288
I knew then that things had worked out
Horribly wrong for what happened to us
655
01:02:12,460 --> 01:02:17,621
I knew something had happened
So I decided once and for all to leave the Navy
656
01:02:17,790 --> 01:02:25,129
I have completed all my obligations
I resigned from my mission and left the Navy
657
01:02:25,524 --> 01:02:30,364
Captain McGonagill was given the highest ranking
American honors, but with little ceremony
658
01:02:31,123 --> 01:02:38,061
It is considered the first national medal of honor that has not been established
The American president is imitating him, in my experience
659
01:02:39,001 --> 01:02:43,290
This is a natural decree
The President presents the National Medal of Honor
660
01:02:44,150 --> 01:02:50,953
It was presented by the Minister of Marine in Baha
The Navy has a small base in southeastern Washington
661
01:02:52,710 --> 01:02:55,217
Instead of being that
In the White House with the President
662
01:02:55,796 --> 01:03:03,274
There is no doubt, in my opinion, that this is a treatment method
The Navy and the White House for that matter were a farce
663
01:03:03,431 --> 01:03:06,384
Johnson did not want to
This incident should be made public
664
01:03:07,401 --> 01:03:13,941
He considered that this would harm relations
With Israel and his relations with Jews in the United States
665
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:26,343
I accept this presidential honor
For the officers and men of the ship Liberty
666
01:03:26,697 --> 01:03:35,296
I would like to add my personal appreciation
For their professional devotion to their duty
667
01:03:36,105 --> 01:03:44,346
All our tributes talk about the process
Military and sometimes mention the enemy operation
668
01:03:44,529 --> 01:03:47,110
But it does not mention at all that it is the State of Israel
669
01:03:47,333 --> 01:03:52,808
For the heroic feat of unexpected armed attack
(And unjustified on the ship (Liberty).
670
01:03:53,342 --> 01:03:56,946
In the eastern Mediterranean
On June 8, 1967
671
01:03:57,910 --> 01:04:00,416
He will receive the medal
Marine Lieutenant George Golden
672
01:04:01,657 --> 01:04:04,252
He held out three times when informed of torpedo attacks
673
01:04:04,407 --> 01:04:08,577
I witnessed a cover-up taking place
Of the highest levels
674
01:04:08,744 --> 01:04:18,549
I witnessed someone receiving the highest honors on earth
Another is promoted, and another is given his choice in the Navy in exchange for his silence
675
01:04:19,179 --> 01:04:26,069
Nothing more, nothing less, and this silence was paid for
The captain never appeared until the end of his life
676
01:04:26,522 --> 01:04:31,198
I only think about what would have happened
If only he had appeared in public since 1967
677
01:04:35,288 --> 01:04:37,496
Except the presidential elections
It was about to happen
678
01:04:38,373 --> 01:04:41,225
No one wanted power
By raising questions about the Liberty ship
679
01:04:41,226 --> 01:04:44,009
And the possibility of it spoiling relationships
With victorious Israel
680
01:04:56,629 --> 01:04:59,866
I think it should have been so
That calls for more than what happened
681
01:05:00,711 --> 01:05:08,038
We continued to interact with each other
Some, and we renewed our old friendship
682
01:05:08,619 --> 01:05:12,983
We tended to ignore the incident
Actually based on the goals in reality
683
01:05:13,148 --> 01:05:16,525
We shouldn't have done that!
This was a very bad thing
684
01:05:32,745 --> 01:05:36,321
If you want to win the war
Faster, more mistakes will occur
685
01:05:36,502 --> 01:05:42,078
Unfortunately, but from the results of these errors
We won the war in six days
686
01:05:42,536 --> 01:05:44,078
But this is the price we have to pay
687
01:05:44,405 --> 01:05:49,164
Unfortunately, it is expensive in this case
Among the prices is the ship Liberty
688
01:05:50,536 --> 01:05:54,392
It is still Israel today
Occupies Palestinian territories
689
01:05:55,109 --> 01:05:57,213
Thanks to the continued support
From the United States
690
01:05:58,205 --> 01:06:04,661
The Six-Day War left its mark
Painful of doubt, suffering and sorrows
691
01:06:06,505 --> 01:06:09,294
Among those living are pregnant women
Traces of their legacy, the survivors of Liberty
692
01:06:09,783 --> 01:06:12,647
They feel bitter because
Their government covered up the incident
693
01:06:14,679 --> 01:06:18,231
Jim Ennis has spent many years
He is trying to discover the truth about what happened
694
01:06:21,695 --> 01:06:24,960
This book accompanies me as long as I am here
695
01:06:25,684 --> 01:06:28,740
I always said I let it go
696
01:06:35,231 --> 01:06:35,231
I was hoping for the past years
That my book would provoke a public investigation
697
01:06:35,232 --> 01:06:40,734
And it may answer the remaining questions
So maybe it's the whole issue
698
01:06:40,915 --> 01:06:47,264
After that, there will be no questions about what happened and why
That, we put it alongside other things
699
01:06:48,780 --> 01:06:56,236
Jerry Goss, enlisted officer.
Melvin Smith, senior enlisted officer.
700
01:06:57,558 --> 01:07:04,321
Cole Noah, sailor.
John Spicer, enlisted officer.
701
01:07:05,328 --> 01:07:11,502
Gary Plantard, sailor.
Alan Blue, civilian.
702
01:07:12,757 --> 01:07:15,991
Jerry Converse, enlisted officer.
703
01:07:21,706 --> 01:07:27,939
There are 34 men who cannot speak
There are 34 families who want to hear answers
704
01:07:28,688 --> 01:07:31,514
And there's the rest of the crew
They want to hear answers too
705
01:07:32,525 --> 01:07:42,034
I don't really hold a grudge against whoever fired the shots
Because they were ordered to do so
706
01:07:42,378 --> 01:07:46,196
Because if they do not do so
They will be in big trouble
707
01:07:47,090 --> 01:07:50,280
I would like to meet these guys
And I see what they have to say to me
708
01:07:50,989 --> 01:07:55,034
Some people gave those orders
They got away with murder
709
01:07:58,243 --> 01:08:11,832
