With these murders, most of the best Arabic translation human assets

HONEST EXPLAINATION OF WHY THEY WERE MURDERED? A monument Americans
can see, not some plaque in an obscure hallway in McClain, or out at
NSA. All the coverup to keep intact a phony history version of that
particular war.

Dave, of the 34 men killed, about 7 were CT I branchers (Interpretive
branch - the linguists). *To say "most" of the best Arabic translation
human assets is a little disingenuous. *Most I branchers are at NSA or
ships/sites in the middle east - at that time they included Turkey,
Cyprus, Italy, and Morocco. *There were many R, T, and M branchers also
killed.

As far as memorials: *There should be one of them in DC, along with the
EC-121 shot down by North Korea, but don't hold your breath. *There are
several memorials for the U.S.S. Liberty around the country, including
a school in your state. *Google USS Liberty for a list.

Yep. I want a big one in DC, on or near the Mall, and one in the
Capitol, where Congressmen on Appropriations have to pass it everyday,
and maybe a plaque or two in the cafeterias at State, as a remembrance
of how much we really "owe" our allies, and maybe a big plaque in the
Johnson Library down in Texas. And one or 2 each at the DNC and RNC
offices.

There were some more flown out to meet the ship before it moved to
station off Sinai.
