You continue to argue that this has to do with Liberty when you really mean liberty.
Ironic though, as I believe this is payback for the 200 casualities of the U.S.S. Liberty.
The casualities of the US Liberty were due to our own poor judgement of putting a lone ship in a war zone. There was a US Marine just exonerated today, iirc. He shot an Iraqi prisoner under smaller scale but smaller circumstances. In war, sometimes shooting must happen first and questions resolved later.
