I really enjoyed this episode. The Liberty incident continues to confuse me - particularly, if the Israelis had such influence in Washington that they'd be able to walk away unscathed from such an incident, then why would they need to attack an American ship in the first place? I read the first three DiEugenio articles (I see a fourth has gone up since then). The first three articles do not deal with what was going on behind the scenes, being essentially a summary of the details of the attack itself, but do contain information that I was not aware of that adds to the murkiness of the whole incident (like why the Liberty was deployed so close without escort to begin with, and the almost-boarding by helicopter that was seemingly called off as it was about to begin). In short, I look forward to a future episode on this topic.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueAnon/comments/1mvxvka/serious_problems_with_whitney_webbs_research_the/ I didn't know where best to post this. Whitney Webb has come up several times in the chat here and this seems like a useful examination of her approach to research and its potential limitations and liabilities. I don't know anywhere near enough to adjudicate either Webb's methods and claims or the poster's criticisms so thought I'd offer it up here to a more seasoned audience of parapolitical thinkers. Thx for the recent eps, Aaron
