Ask USS Liberty Veterans Association for the evidence. The Association is made up of survivors of the attack. Their official position is that the attack was deliberate. The attack was carried out over a two hour period by aircraft and torpedo boats. Does that sound like an accident, especially when one sees men waving and yelling from the deck, the US flag flying high and the appropriate markings identifying the ship on its stern. A reconnaissance of the ship was made one hour before the attack was made. The aircraft was identified as Israeli by the men on the USS Liberty. No cause for concern as many of the men waved at the plane as warriors do when in the presence of an ally.

Lots of books on the subject are available written by people who are pro and people who are con. It is a mystery as to why the attack occurred in the first place. Decades of discussion among people who work in the field has not solved the mystery. We will not solve it today in this forum. But, IMHO, one needs to look closely at the Golan Heights for the answer.
