What does Bamford say about this ???
Reader comment on item: The Liberty Incident: The 1967 Israeli Attack on the U.S. Spy Ship
Submitted by Saul Pfeffer (Canada), Oct 18, 2002 at 13:17
James Bamford, as everyone knows, has staked his credibility on the proposition that the "USS Liberty incident" was a deliberate Israeli attack to cover-up the slaughter of Egyptian prisoners. No serious observer has ever given Bamford one moment's consideration on this issue...Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
