What disturbs me about all this is that somehow this one terrible incident is always used to bash Israel over the head.

Using the Liberty incident against Israel is akin to using My Lai against the United States of America.

Or, in another sense, Kasserine Pass -- to prove the Ul.S. military is incompetent.

All were mistakes. Tragic ones. But mistakes, nonetheless.

Using the Liberty incident against Israel is akin to using My Lai against the United States of America. My Lai was ordered by one Lieutenant. The order that had several jets plus Israeli naval vessals to attack a ship flying the US flag had to come from MUCH higher on the IDF chain of command
