The Pueblo SCAPEGOAT
2014
Overview
Johnson instructed Defense Secretary Robert McNamara to conduct an in-depth background investigation of the captain.6 Agents of the Naval Investigative Service soon fanned out in the United States and Japan, where Bucher had been stationed during his submarine days in the early 1960s.\\n A politically savvy former Rhode Island governor, he realized that public and media sympathy precluded a court-martial of Bucher. Chafee candidly admitted that mistakes and miscalculations by the Navy had led to what he called the Pueblo's \"lonely confrontation by unanticipatedly bold and hostile forces.\" [...]the consequences of the ship's seizure \"must in fairness be borne by all, rather than by one or two individuals whom circumstances had placed closer to the crucial event.\" According to long-secret National Security Agency damage assessments obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, the capture of the ship and her eavesdropping gear was one of the worst intelligence debacles in U.S. history.15 Of the 539 classified documents and pieces of equipment onboard the ship, up to 80 percent had been compromised, the NSA reported.
