[url="http://usa.mediamonitors.net/content/view/full/15695"]Here's the article[/url] I wonder if one senator or congressman has the common sense to support these men.

Three letters will be written this weekend and sent off to my reps in Congress, even though it may not help much. Gotta support the good men of the Liberty, who were ill used by both the Israeli jets and their own leadership.

They should hire a legal team (some ruthless Jewish lawyers would be a nice touch) and sue to get reparations from the Zionist state.

[QUOTE] [URL]http://usa.mediamonitors.net/content/view/full/15695[/URL] [William Gladstone]... The gathering’s most compelling comments were made by Seaman Richard “Larry” Weaver of the Liberty. He was very badly wounded by the Israeli attack, and he is still in constant pain and suffering and has recurring nightmares of that horrific day. As a result of his serious injuries, he has been through 29 major surgeries. Weaver said that he was “on watch” the night before the Israeli attack and that one of the Israeli planes flew so close to the Liberty that he could actually see on its starboard side, “the Star of David!” Weaver said that despite his medical condition, while he was later recovering back home at the Philadelphia Naval Hospital, he was personally threatened by a Three Star Admiral, Isaac C. Kidd, who is now deceased. The admiral warned Weaver, that if he ever told the truth about what happened to the Liberty, that he would be put “in prison,” and that the Navy would “lose the key!” ...[/QUOTE] Ah... fascinating! I wasn't aware of the Issac C. Kidd incident. :thumbsup:

[QUOTE] [URL]http://usa.mediamonitors.net/content/view/full/15695[/URL] [William Gladstone]... Incidentally, I couldn’t help but notice the absence of any members of the U.S. Congress and/or officials from the Bush-Cheney administration at today’s event. This was in marked contrast to the annual conference of the powerful pro-Israeli lobbying juggernaut - the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). ...[/QUOTE] Calling our public officials “scum” is an insult to scum. :angry:

I got Ennes' book (Assault on the Liberty) when it came out a long time ago. I was called an anti-semite and worse just by having it in my possession.

You should have heard what I was called when I called for Pollard's execution!

In the end, no one in goverment will back the survivors--it would (at least in the eyes of any politician) be political suicide. I wonder how much they owe in allegiance to OUR country vs Israel?:frown:
