Sounds like it was an honest mistake and not some sinister plot against the US by Israel that the conspiracy theorists would have you believe.

"I'm sorry for the mistake." Dosen't sound like it to me.
"I'm the last guy who has a problem with admitting mistakes and asking for forgiveness. There was a mistake, but it wasn't my mistake."
Aftur all, he vass only following orders!
Do I read this right? This guy was one of the Israili's who has reufused attack missions in the disputed lands because they might hurt innocent Pali's? Little bit selective about our remorese, aren't we, Pali?

"There was a mistake. Mistakes happen. As far as I know, the mistake was of the USS Liberty being there in the first place," said Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yiftah Spector.

Sounds like he's a bit of an outlier. Maybe that was a factor in the attack on the Liberty.

Where are you? Haven't heard from you lately!

From the photos I've seen those holes in the splinter shielding of the Liberty weren't made by 30mm cannon shells. More likely 3 or 5 inch rockets. And another bomb or two wouldn't have sunk her if the torpedo didn't.
I wish they'd just leave this be. I don't want to be angry with the Isrealis but I do when this incident comes up & the excuses start. This guy needs to cop to incompetence, at least.

"They must understand that a mistake was made here," Spector said. "The fool is one who wanders about in the dark in dangerous places, so they should not come with any complaints." As one who generally supports Israel's actions and often thinks they are too restrained in dealing with the Arabs, I find this statement arrogant. Even more, Israel should worry about its citizens who bite the hand that feeds them. I have trouble with pilots who can't distinguish antennae from cannon or missile launchers. What Arab navy had a ship that would look like the Liberty? I can’t explain Israel’s motives. Only they know what they were thinking, but it seems that the incident was more than a simple mistake.
