	In Memoriam: U.S. Navy Captain William L. McGonagle (1926-1999)
		Retired U.S. Navy Captain William L. McGonagle, who died of lung cancer March 9 in Palm Springs, California, at the age of 73, was a Navy commander on June 8, 1967 when his ship, the USS Liberty, was attacked and nearly sunk by Israeli fighter aircraft and torpedo boats.
		McGonagle, who had entered the Navy in 1944 during World War II and also had seen action during the Korean War, spent another seven years in the Navy and retired with 30 years’ service.
		McGonagle thus became perhaps the only living recipient of the nation’s highest military award who did not receive it from an American president.

	Capt. William McGonagle; Won Medal of Honor After Israelis Attacked Ship
		When Navy Capt. William L. McGonagle received his Medal of Honor, it was not bestowed on him by the president, as is customary, or even presented at the White House.
		McGonagle, who died last week at 73, was given his award in the relative seclusion of a shipyard near Washington by the Navy secretary.
		For all of McGonagle's heroism, he was still part of an incident that the U.S. and Israeli governments would rather forget.

		William McGonagle, testified that he had identified the torpedo boats as Israeli, leading him to conclude that the attack had quite possibly been a mistake:
		McGonagle’s sworn testimony that the torpedo boats were Israeli, and his conclusion during the attack that if the attacking jets were also Israeli, then the “attack had been conducted in error”?
		McGonagle, having mentioned in his testimony the placing of the life boats in the water, would somehow forget to tell the Court of Inquiry that these life boats were then attacked by Israel?

	Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient Captain William L. McGonagle
		In all, 840 medals were awarded -even though after the attack, a Navy court of inquiry concluded there was insufficient information to make a judgment about why Israel attacked the ship, stopping short of assigning blame or even determining whether it was an accident.
		Even McGonagle's Medal of Honor citation - which was presented not by the president, as usual, but by a lesser Navy official - breathlessly describes his heroism, after suffering incredible wounds, without once mentioning Israel by name.
		It was "one of the classic all-American cover-ups," said retired Adm. Thomas Moorer, a former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman who spent a year investigating the attack as part of an independent panel he formed with other former military officials.

	US: The USS Liberty episode
		Captain McGonagle was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions during and after the attack.
		If one looks in the on-line databases on holders of the Medal of Honor, one finds the curious fact that, according to the US government, Captain McGonagle is the only member of the US military who won his medal for actions in the Vietnam war -- although somehow in the eastern Mediterranean.
		This highlights another and tragic aspect of this incident, which is the shameful treatment of the crew members who were killed and of the surviving crew members and their families.

		A self-educated hand loom weaver from Dundee, he discovered his discordant muse in 1877 and embarked upon a 25 year career as a working poet, delighting and appalling audiences across Scotland and beyond.
		I certify that William McGonagall has for some time been known to me. I have heard him speak, he has a strong proclivity for the elocutionary department, a strong voice, and great enthusiasm.

		Anxious about his proximity to the fighting, McGonagle asked the Sixth Fleet commander, Vice-Adm. William Martin, for permission to pull back from the shore, or else to be provided with a destroyer escort.
		The hearings revealed basic contradictions in the testimonies of McGonagle and other officers regarding the length and sequence of the attack, and raised the possibility that, due to light winds, the flag might well not have been visible to Israeli pilots.
		That same year, William McGonagle received the Congressional Medal of Honor for gallantry displayed during the attack, and Israel paid over $6 million in restitution to the families of those wounded and killed.

		This week, completing his third "Family Workshop," in which parents painted, drew and sculpted alongside their grade-schoo'-age children, Teacher McGonagle was more than ever convinced that children are both far more productive and far less hamstrung by realism than their parents.
