The USS Liberty Document Archive Is Now Up and Running.
For over 50 years, anyone researching the USS Liberty attack and continuing cover-up of that attack was confronted with one question: Do I have all of the available documents needed to produce a complete, documented account of the attack? With the creation of our USS Liberty archive, the answer is YES!

After many restarts and much time learning the software, we have decided that the time is right to go live with our USS Liberty Documents Archive.
The Archive is open to all at https://usslibertydocuments.info and includes all documents related to the June 8, 1967, Israeli attack on the USS Liberty. What are we accepting to include in the archive?
- Official government documents;
- First-person accounts by the participants; and,
- Research papers from published researchers;
As with all archives, we are constantly searching for relevant documents to include. We are seeking:
- A US government investigation of the attack on the USS Liberty. This does NOT include documents third parties have deemed to be US government investigations of the attack but investigations the US government has provided and that it claims to be such an investigation; and,
- First-person accounts by the Israelis who participated in any segment of the attack — from planning to execution.
If anyone has a document for us to consider including in our archive, email that document to [email protected].

Joe Meadors grew up in Saudi Arabia and spent 22 years living in the Kingdom.
He was aboard the USS Liberty when the ship was attacked by the Israeli Defense Forces in 1967 and has been in the forefront of the effort to ensure the US government finally investigates the attack.He also participated in Freedom Flotilla I in 2010 whose goal was to break the blockade of Gaza only to be brutally attacked by the IDF who killed 9 human rights activists on the MV Mavi Marmara.
The death of one American citizen on the Mavi Marmara elicited nary a peep of outrage or condemnation from the State Department.This follows the outrageous precedent the State Department initiated when 34 Americans were killed on the USS Liberty which was followed by silence from the State Department.Meadors is an eye-witness to and a victim of this policy.
Meadors has also participated in Freedom Flotillas II, III and IV in the effort to break the immoral blockade of Gaza.
His background gives him a unique perspective as an American citizen when it comes to issues involving the Middle East.
He will be sharing that perspective in his articles for The Arab Daily News.
