S E C R E T US EYES ONLY
FOR ADMIRAL MCCAIN AND CAPT KING FROM RADM KIDD
LIBERTY REPORTED JAMMING
1. LIBERTY REPORTED APPARENT DISCRIMINATE JAMMING ON CERTAIN
CW AND VOICE CIRCUITS JUST BEFORE AND DURING EACH AIRCRAFTS
INDIVIDUAL ATTACK. EFFECT WAS TO SCARE MISCHIEF OUT OF THOSE
BELOW WHO HEARD IT START, BECAUSE THEY KNEW A ROCKET OR BOMB
WOULD SOON FOLLOW.
2. COURT CONSIDERED POSSIBILITY THIS PHENOMENON NOT RPT NOT JAMMING
BUT RATHER GUIDANCE RADIATION FROM PLANES RELATED TO THEIR VERY
ACCURATE ROCKET FIRE.
3. JCS TEAM TECHNICAL WERE DISAGREED AND COURT DID NOT SPECULATE.
4. NEWSWEEK ARTICLE REPORTING ON ISRAELI ROCKET
METAL SEEKING
GUIDANCE EFFICACY DICTATES THIS POSSIBILITY BE RE-EXAMINED UNLESS
WE KNOW BY OTHER SOURCES EXACTLY HOW THEIR ROCKETRY WORKED.
5. IF THE SIGNALS IDENTIFIED AS JAMMING WERE JUST THAT, THE
METHOD OF EMPLOYMENT WAS SO INEFFECTIVE AS TO BE SUSPICIOUSLY
INCONSISTANT WITH THE REST OF THEIR BAG OF TRICKS.
