"Son, I spent 2 years as a special agent in the FBI and over 30 yrs in the military, and if it is one thing I learned through all of this, its that when you get an order, you say yes sir and carry it out with no questions asked.
This was the response given by Capt. Ward Boston, USN (Ret) to this reporter in a series of recent interviews he gave for American Free Press Newspaper. For those not familiar with Capt. Ward Boston, he played what will one day be recognized as one of the most pivotal roles in recent human history. 40 years ago this upcoming June, he was the senior legal council for the Naval Board of Inquiry concerning the June 8, 1967 attack on the USS Liberty by Israeli Air and Naval forces that resulted in 34 Americans killed and 171 wounded. His job in 1967 was to be part of a hastily-called investigation into the attack, andas he has recently revealed to the shock of manyto rule that Israels 90-minute bloodfest waged against Americas young men was all an accident that occurred during the fog of war, all the evidence to the contrary be damned. In 2002, Capt. Ward broke his silence of 3 decades and released an affidavit to the public in which he admitted that the entire investigation was a sham, and that he was under orders (from persons of no less authority than President Lyndon Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara) to rule that the bloodiest day in American naval history since WWII took place as a result of mistaken identity and that Americas ally, Israelwas innocent of any wrongdoing.
For 35 years Capt. Ward lived with the bitter knowledge that his fellow servicemen had been deliberately murdered in what was an act of war by a foreign power and yet because of the orders he received was powerless to say anything. A conflux of events however led him to make the decision to damn the torpedoes and to let the chips fall where they may. Im an old man he told AFP. They cant threaten my job, and if they throw me into jail, so what? The truth has to be told for the benefit of the survivors and for the American people whose sons and daughters are dying today.
The first of these events leading him to break his silence was the 2002 release of a book entitled The Liberty Incident written by Judge Ahron Jay Cristol at a time when America was being drawn into a series of long-term military engagements with countries that just so happened to be enemies of Israel. Through his book and subsequent speaking tour, Cristol (a slavish, shameless, fanatical apologist for the Jewish State who is on more-than-friendly terms with a number of people in both the military and arms industry in Israel) did the usual song and dance when it comes to discussing the terrorist state that attacked America in 1967, which was to argue for unconditional acquittal, using a collage of sloppy yet deliberate misrepresentations and omissions of fact. In Capt. Bostons words, it was Cristols insidious attempt to whitewash the event that pushed me to speak out."
"These rats, he said, referring to Israel and her defenders. They lie about everything. You cant believe a word they say he told AFP. What was so important about this statement was that Capt. Boston was not just talking about the past, but about the present and future as well. Theyve completely infested the entire Intelligence and Defense apparatus of the United States he said. Perle, Feith, Wolfowitz, and all the rest of themTheyre spies for Israel, every damned one of them he said. Just consider the 5 guys who were arrested after 9/11, cheering and celebrating, and then afterwards we come to find out that they were Mossad and then they get sent back to Israel. They knew all about it and yet our government, the government I worked for most of my life did nothing about it. Can you imagine if these guys were Arabs? he asked. Its been the same thing, ever since 1967 he said with unmistakable aggravation. Protect Israel, protect IsraelIn the meantime, our boys are dying over there and those who dont die are coming back here with all
sorts of problems, both physical and psychological.
It was his visit to Israel some years back that clinched it for this man in terms of his feelings for the great experiment in Jewish self-rule. The way they treat the Arabsits unconscionable he said. You go into Israel, into the only places where they allow the tourists, and its the picture of paradise, just as the Soviets used to do. Then you take a detour off the approved itinerary and you see what it is really likeThe poverty, misery, abuse. Arab kids being gunned down in broad daylight. Its worse than South Africa. Only a person with a ice water in his veins could see the way the Arabs are treated and not be outraged."
As far as the future goes, Capt. Boston is not hopeful. If either they (the Israelis) or the US launches a war against Iran, it will be the beginning of the end he said. ArmageddonYoull have Muslims pouring into the area from all over the world and no army will be able to stop them. They will tear Israel and the Americans to pieces.
As far as his reaction to the predictable accusations of anti-Semitism that have been leveled against him for telling the truth concerning the attack on the Liberty, he laughs it off. One of my closest friends growing up was Jewish he said. I dont have a prejudiced bone in my body. What we are dealing with here is an act of war initiated against the United States, the country I swore an oath to defend, period. If a proper investigation into the attack on the Liberty had been allowed to take place and the American people made aware of what happened, we would not be in the middle of this mess in the Middle East now.

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.
