The continued drum-beating against Israel because of the accidental attack on the USS Liberty is nothing more than an effort to discredit the U.S. foreign policy of continuing to support Israel. If Israel knowingly attacked and killed Americans, the views of radical critics of the country are confirmed with graphic clarity. These views include: a) the belief that Israel will turn against the U.S. whenever it suits its interests; b) the belief that Israel's control over the American political and military structure is so great that it can openly kill Americans because it knows that officials at every level will work together to cover up the crime; and c) the belief that Israel is a terrorist state.
It's garbage. In 1999, moreover, a National Security Agency report from 1981 was released claiming that "the tragedy resulted not only from Israeli miscalculation but also from faulty U.S. communications practices." Since July 2003, this report has been available on the NSA Web site accompanied by a recording of radio communications between Israeli pilots made by a U.S. spy plane on the scene throughout the episode.
The NSA report and other documents declassified since the incident - including a trove of government materials released in January 2004 - support findings that the bombing was a case of mistaken identity. Some of the different investigations and their conclusions are listed below.
If you want to continue hating Israel, fine. But stop lying about the USS Liberty.
Why are you relying on the NSA report? A man who survived the attack and who was there on that day is right here, and has given his full name and position. Furthermore you are calling this survivor, behind your guise of anonymity, a liar. I apologize to Mr. Meadors on behalf of Christian Forums for your foul manners.
