James Scott’s book “Attack on the Liberty”, recently published by Simon and Schuster has been reviewed by James M. Ennes, Jr. Ennes is a USS Liberty survivor and author of “Assault on the Liberty.”
In his dissertation, Jay Cristol claims one of the photos included is a gun sight photo taken by one of the attacking jets.
We have learned from the IDF that only one photo was provided to Dr. Cristol by the IDF and that photo is not the one in question.
In addition to misrepresenting the source of the photo there is some question as to whether it has been deliberately altered from its original condition (see the topic “The Fraudulence of ‘Gun Camera’ Photographs” at http://usslibertyinquiry.com/essays/essays.html
Judge Cristol, if the purpose of your screed is not “to convince anyone of anything” why the need to lie to your readers about the source of the photograph included in your dissertation and your book?
Judge Cristol, if the purpose of your screed is not “to convince anyone of anything” why do you make claims based on evidence that forensic analysis has determined to be faked?
“The Attack on the Liberty” by James Scott. Subtitled, “The Untold Story of Israel’s Deadly 1967 Assault on a U.S. Spy Ship”
Ships on or around June 2, 2009
Available from the Simon Schuster website at http://tinyurl.com/d2td58 or from Amazon at http://tinyurl.com/cyzx9u and from other online booksellers.
The Simon and Schuster website tells us that “Scott documents, for the first time, the fact that the ship was correctly identified by at least one of the pilots prior to the attacks.”
“The Attack on the Liberty is the finest account yet of this tragedy and a remarkable tale of men under fire in an incident that remains bitterly disputed after more than forty years.”
For those who already have imbibed a snootful of Capt. Cristol’s Kool Aid this is nothing new but for those who are new to the game, below is one of the US government documents Judge Cristol has included in his list of US government investigations of the attack on the USS Liberty.
Read it carefully. There’ll be a test. After reading the text of the report that Dr. Cristol claims to be an investigation of the attack, based on the information contained in that report, what day did the attack take place?
