Every eyewitness to Israel's attack on Liberty still maintains the assault was premeditated and deliberate.A brief search of the history of the Liberty attack indicates the attack was accidental, that they thought it was an Egyptian vessel.
Their story is available here:
USS Liberty Memorial
"The Attack
"After surveilling USS Liberty for more than nine hours with almost hourly aircraft overflights and radar tracking, the air and naval forces of Israel attacked our ship in international waters without warning.
"USS Liberty was identified as a US naval ship by Israeli reconnaissance aircraft nine hours before the attack and continuously tracked by Israeli radar and aircraft thereafter.
"Sailing in international waters at less than five knots, with no offensive armament, our ship was not a military threat to anyone.
"The Israeli forces attacked without warning and without attempting to contact us.
"Thirty four Americans were killed in the attack and another 174 were wounded."
i would have thought the massive stars and stripes flying on the ship would put that nonsense to bed.
