Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern told Rick Sanchez that the organization found out that Israel wanted to sink the USS Liberty after its communications were intercepted during the Six-Day War of 1967. McGovern said he was told about the CIA's knowledge of the attack on the USS Liberty by the former head of the Middle East desk at the organization.
Israel's attack on the USS Liberty in 1967 remains a hot topic, as organizations like the "Veterans of the USS Liberty" still demand answers from the Israeli government.
