-Caveat Lector- TV Guide Deems Attack On USS Liberty "Accidental" As most of you know (and for the benefit of new subscribers) the History Channel is broadcasting a program on the June 8, 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty on Thursday, August 9, 2001, at 8PM Eastern Daylight Time. Among those interviewed and appearing in the program is Lloyd Painter who witnessed the machine gunning of the Liberty's life rafts in the water by Israeli torpedo boat personnel and who testified about that during his appearance before the USNavy Court of Inquiry only to find that his testimony has been removed from the official Report of the Court of Inquiry prior to its release to the public. To hear an advertisement the History Channel has been running about the program, click on http://208.56.153.48/jim/ussliberty/lib.ram A visit to the TV Guide website at http://www.tvguide.com and looking at the History Channel schedule regarding the program reveals the unsettling fact that TV Guide has deemed the attack to be an "accident" -- this despite the fact that (according to reviewers who have seen the program) the program host, Arthur Kent, concludes that attack was deliberate Their listing describes the program, "An examination of the controversy surrounding the 1967 accidental destruction of the USS Liberty by Israeli air and naval forces during the Six-Day War." This is the same description they used when the program was initially scheduled for last February. We tried then -- unsuccessfully -- to find out who at TV Guide wrote the description and how to get it changed. If any subscribers to this list have any contacts at TV Guide we'd appreciate their contacting them to find out who wrote the description and why.
