Wrong answer! Try again. That one is not even in the USS Liberty theory data base. Here are some possibles.
1). A mistake as the Israelis tried to say.
2). The Israelis were doing some human rights violations after their victory in the Sinai and the USS Liberty was sitting off the coast of Sinai and would pick up on these atrocities.
3). The Israelis were fearful that their plans to take over the Golan Heights would be found out and thus stopped. The Golan Heights is a sweet piece of very fertile land and strategically important to Israel.
4) The USS Liberty was passing messages back to a secret site (most would guess Cyprus) and then being transferred to our very close allies - the Russians.
The infamous USS Liberty event was a common topic among us Hebe linguists during our language training and as we did our thing in the Med.
I don't have any idea what the truth is, but that theory has been out there for years. Google it.

5.) USS Liberty intercepts Israeli transmissions indicating Israeli first strike against Egyptian/Syrian air forces provoking ‘67 War... despite Israel government political rhetoric that Israel is a peace loving nation.
