Dear Friends,



Many CNI supporters were energized to do something about America’s lopsided relationship with Israel after they learned about the USS Liberty. The Liberty was an intelligence gathering ship that was attacked repeatedly by Israel on June 8, 1967. The ship was in international waters at the time and was clearly identified as American. The attempt to sink the vessel resulted in 34 deaths of US servicemen and civilians as well as 171 wounded. US fighters scrambled to assist the Liberty were called back under orders from President Lyndon B. Johnson so as not to embarrass the Israelis. Subsequently, a cover up involving Admiral John McCain, the Senator’s father, failed to hold Israel accountable for the attack and even went so far as to gag the survivors so they could not report what had actually occurred.





Tonight al-Jazeera America is airing a special report on the Liberty called “The Day Israel Attacked America.” It is airing at 10 pm Eastern Time, 9 pm Central. Al-Jazeera can be found on Comcast Cable at station 107, Dish at 215, Verizon FIOS at 114 and on Directv at 347. The al-Jazeera website has a search engine to enable you to determine its availability in your local area. It is strongly recommended that friends of CNI DVR or view it and share it with friends. The Liberty survivors are ageing and their repeated attempts to obtain justice have been thwarted by Democratic and Republican Administrations alike. It is past time that they are allowed to be heard.



As always, your support of CNI is vital to enable us to tell the truth about the Liberty. Thank you for your commitment.

Below is an e-mail sent out by Phil Giraldi, at the Council for the National Interest, about an Al-Jazeera program about the USS Liberty that will be shown TONIGHT TONIGHT TONIGHT. Halloween, don't you know...hmm.Link to Al-Jazeera - http://america.aljazeera.com/watch/schedule.html Yankee Doodle can't help noticing, and commenting on, the odd coincidence - or more? - that the Haaretz cartoon, posted by Idaho Kid just a few hours ago, showing an Israeli plane flying into an American skyscraper appears at about the same time as this Al-Jazeera report entitled "The Day Israel Attacked America".
