Every claim in this thread traces to a primary source document. Nothing here requires trust in anonymous sources, secondhand accounts, or contested interpretations. The files speak for themselves.
The declassified record does not prove the attack was deliberate — the key signals intelligence remains classified.
But it proves the investigation was inadequate, the survivors were suppressed, and the United States government made deliberate decisions to protect the relationship with Israel at the expense of accountability for 34 dead American sailors.
58 years later, the questions remain. The documents are waiting.
Read them.
The attack America buried deserves to be exhumed.
