Kckinney ussliberty { June 6 2002 } Fwd: Congresswoman McKinney is in trouble (fwd) >Date: Fri, 05 Jul 2002 19:28:26 -0700 >From: Jim Ennes >Subject: Congresswoman McKinney is in trouble > >Dear Friends and shipmates: > >Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney of Georgia is in trouble. She >distinguished herself recently, unlike her less daring colleagues, by >speaking out on behalf of the USS Liberty. She made the following >statement on June 6, 2002. > >========= > >"Mr. Speaker, I speak to commemorate and recognize the tragic attack that >took place against the U.S.S. Liberty on June 8, 1967. Although >thirty-five years have come and gone since this historic event, the >survivors of the U.S.S. Liberty are still struggling with the fact that >their story has never been heard. > >"While there has never been an official investigation into this event, we >have learned from survivor accounts that for over 75 minutes the Israeli >Defense Forces attacked the U.S.S. Liberty, killing 34 American soldiers >and wounding an additional 172. With over 85% of the crew either dead or >wounded, they somehow managed to keep the ship afloat after being hit by >over 1000 rounds of rocket, cannon, machine gun, napalm hits, and even a >direct hit from a torpedo. > >"This unprovoked attack took place in international waters, and by a >trusted ally. The only explanation given to the survivors and their >families as to why this attack took place was that it was an accident and >that their ship was not identified as being American, regardless of the >fact that our flag was proudly flown throughout the attack. Unfortunately, >that explanation is not good enough for those whose lives have been >impacted by this attack, and it should not be good enough for the American >people. Let's not wait another thirty-five years before we provide the >survivors of the U.S.S. Liberty an official investigation into why this >attack took place and allow them to tell their story. We owe them more >than a debt of gratitude for their sacrifice; we owe them the truth." > >================ > >Now, as so often happens, Israeli supporters are seeking to punish Ms. >McKinney by contributing heavily to her opponent in the August primary >election, hoping to unseat her. > >That is usually what happens to any elected person who dares to act >contrary to the wishes of the Israeli lobby. Israel contributes to their >opponent and they are soon out of office. That is why so few elected >Members of Congress lack the courage to speak out on our behalf or for >American interests over those of Israel. > >Ms. McKinney is a notable exception. > >She knew the risks but she spoke out anyway. > >We cannot let her be punished for helping us. > >Please consider sending a check contribution to > >McKinney for Congress >Post Office Box 371125 >Decatur, GA 30037 > > >Or phone (404) 243-5574 for more information. > >Contributions of more than $200 must by law include the donor's name, >address, employer's name and employer's address. > >For more information > >Visit > >Congresswoman McKinney's web site at http://www.cynthia2002.com > >The Council for the National Interest at >http://www.cnionline.org/ > >The USS Liberty at http://www.ussliberty.com > >jim > > > >
