The torpedo that struck the USS Liberty: Made in the USA?

Part 3 on the USS Liberty Series: "It is God who has kept afloat. "

On October 2, 2007, John Crewdson, Chicago Tribune correspondent reported that high Bryce Lockwood, Marine sergeant, an expert in Russian language, which received the Silver Star for heroism, ordained Baptist minister, shouting into the phone.

"I am angry I am seething! Forty years and I'm seething with anger! [1]

When I talked to Sarge Bryce Ol 'his farm in Missouri on November 10, 2007 phone not only was still seething and shouting, also began to cry, remembering that day in infamy June 8, 1967, when the Johnson administration in collusion with the State of Israel in an attack against treason cover the USS Liberty, an intelligence gathering [] Spy ship ship armed with four machine guns only .50, Sailing in international waters, flying the flag of the United States during the Six Day War.

But it took until the afternoon of 26 September 2006 Sarge Bryce Ol 'open to the public after the implementation bottle of their experience of 8 June 1967.

That night, the former CIA analyst over 27 years, McGovern Ray, "He gave a lecture on Iraq to a crowd of 400 at National Avenue Christian Church in Springfield, Missouri ... [The Israel lobby and its power] over our government and Congress. In sum, in June 1967, after deliberately using fighter-bombers and torpedo boats to attack the USS Liberty, during more than two hours in an attempt to paralyze and kill all its crew, then get the U.S. Government, Navy, and Congress to cover what has past, the Israeli government learned that could literally get away with it. [2]

400 McGovern face blank stares and asked how many people in the crowd had heard of the USS Liberty, and three hands went up.

McGovern asked the man nearest to him and "stiff like a post, it was: "Mr. President, Sergeant Bryce Lockwood, Marine Corps United States, retired. I am a member of the crew the USS Liberty, sir, I could not talk [about the attack]. But it has been almost 40 years, and I would like to try tonight, sir. "[Ibid]

Bryce Lockwood, a descendant of Mayflower pilgrims was a Russian linguist and Marine sergeant in a mission Special Rapporteur on freedom responsible to gather information is sent to board a boat more easily identifiable, was 455 feet long and decorated with radio antennas.

Ol 'Sarge Bryce informed me that, "Admiral Moorer Tom, former President Head of Joint Chiefs of Staff said that liberty was the vessel most recognizable in the U.S. Navy. He thought that was the ugliest ship in the Navy, but I thought that was beautiful! "

Lockwood often stifled by recalling the events of June 8, 1967 and post-traumatic stress that has lasted forty years, "Ten feet passed away from where I was made to torpedo the United States and we are twenty and five Americans killed instantly ...

"Before the attack, a sailor had obtained blank teletype paper and made a four foot six Israeli flag and the use of a felt tip marker reached the Blue Star of David on it. The torpedo struck just a few meters. This torpedo was conducted in the United States reached strengthening primary and absorbs energy. If the torpedo had hit six inches to the left or right key, freedom has been divided two! "

This reporter made the correction, Ken Halliwell former communications technician, U.S. Navy, was honorably discharged in 1974 as a sergeant first class after serving six years in the Naval Security Group. Ken wrote in an email to me November 11, 2007, "The no direct torpedo hit the hull on the deck where [Lockwood] was located. It hit the hull to the deck below him, and opened a large hole in the hull coverage during its explosion. See my search to: http://usslibertyinquiry.googlepages.com/essay4. Anyway, it does not change the fact that a torpedo hit the ship and is a big hole in the hull on the deck of Bryce.

On the phone, Sergeant Bryce Ol 'confesses: "My first thought was, I believe that God, I'm coming home! But at least my children and Lois will be served. I never denied that he was God who kept the Liberty afloat!

"I could have saved, but Phil was the one who saved me from the tournament and an unconscious man who had tried save. It was Phil who opened the door to check how the vessel was injured and I was on the other side. I tried to carry an unconscious man on the stairs and every time I reached the top of the stairs I left. The only light I had was coming through the hole torpedo, a torpedo has been made in the USA.

"Nobody can prove that effectively torpedo was or was not done in the U.S., but I understand that the U.S. has sold surplus World War II torpedoes to Italy and Italy torpedoes sold to Israel.

"We must also understand that the sea rolls natural, and whenever the water flowed in and out roll that torpedo hole, 36 holes x 24 feet, the size of a small house in America!

"I left such four times trying to get up the stairs every time I left, I saw him being sucked out of this hole, torpedo torpedo that may have been made in the USA!

"I was so angry, the hatch was sealed shut and I pounded on his help. Phil has regulations that do not have permission to be there but it has saved lives. There was so much confusion, I went for a while and when I arrived I was told that saving the lives of three men, but I remember only two. "

Lockwood groaned and unnecessarily apologizes to cry when he said: "My two Arab linguists, Sergeant and Corporal Eddie Rehmeyer Jack Raper died ... After the meeting Veterinary FREEDOM 25 I was sitting in a truck stopped at Cabool, Missouri. I wear a t-shirt and liberty lady approaches me and asks me if I was in Norfolk, where freedom had been secured. She said that Gary had been girlfriend ... Gary Blanchard was seated in a boatswain's chair and chipping when the aircraft hitting and riddled with bullets in your kidneys ... Dr. Keifer sedated while he said: "Gary, did not look good, but otherwise it will not work not "... Gary never woke up. "

Lockwood I stopped to catch his breath and composure for a few minutes before I asked her what she had said that his mission and whether there were any Hebrew linguists aboard.

He said that Lt. Commander David Ed Lewis, the officer in charge of 194 crew members 294 in total freedom, "called Raper, Rehmeyer and me together and told us that our mission was monitor all communications of Russia and the United Arab Republic. He said that if we collected all communications from Israel to into account and put ... I'm not saying there was no Hebrew linguists aboard and has certainly been able to know, but I was not aware of everything ...

"An English journalist, I think his name is Trevor Penick, worked for Thames Television in London speaks to Moshe Dayan, asked about freedom and the U.S. Congress. Dayan said something like "Forget Congress. We own Congress. "
