Episode Description

In 1967, under circumstances that still seem incredibly murky, Israeli air and sea forces attacked the USS Liberty, killing 34 crewmembers and injuring more than 170 others. The official story, agreed on by both the United States and Israel: this was a mistake in the fog of the Six-Day War. Perhaps a result of communication breakdowns. Yet, as Ben, Matt and Noel discover in the second chapter of this two-part series -- survivors, politicians, and activists aren't buying the official story. So what actually happened? Is there a cover-up afoot, even in the modern day?
