New Revelations in Attack on USS Liberty
Steve Forslund worked as an intelligence analyst for the 544th Air Reconnaissance Technical Wing, then the highest-level strategic planning office in the Air Force.
"The ground control station stated that the target was American and for the aircraft to confirm it," Forslund recalled. "The aircraft did confirm the identity of the target as American, by the American flag."
The ground control station ordered the aircraft to attack and sink the target and ensure they left no survivors."
