Are you crazy?
Everybody looked into the USS Liberty, many mistakes were made on both sides, but here's what US gov't said:

C.I.A. report June 13, 1967 no malice; attack a mistake
U.S. Navy Court of Inquiry June 18, 1967 mistaken identity
Report by Clark Clifford July 18, 1967 no evidence ship was known to be American
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence 1979/1981 no merit to claims attack was intentional
National Security Agency 1981 Mistaken identity
House Armed Services Cmtee 1991/1992 No support for claims attack was intentional

The last investigation was spurred by White House Chief of Staff John Sununu, who, after meeting with Liberty veterans, referred them to Representative Nick Mavroules, chairman Subcommittee on Investigations of the House Armed Services Committee. After a one year investigation the matter was closed, the investigators evidently finding nothing to support conspiracy claims. (The Liberty Incident, Doctoral Dissertation, Judge A. Jay Cristol.)

And a link for you.

Read up.

Amazing how selectively some people choose to trust the U.S. government...which, not surprisingly, worsk to deny EVERY conspiracy claim that makes it look bad.

Be loyal, be patriotic, love your country, love your Constitution...but don't become a patsy of a government when its primary focus turns to covering its own ass.
