This issue is settled. Congress has refused to take it up again.

I see, so this now makes it OK to forget the entire incident?

If it was indeed an accident, and Israel has nothing hide, why is there such resistance to an investigation. We lost good men aboard that ship. Don't their loved ones deserve to know the truth?

There isn't. There never was. Between 1967 and 1991, The Navy, the CIA, the Joint Chiefs, and numerous Senate and House committees have investigated the Liberty attack, and none of them have come to the conclusion that the ship was deliberately attacked by the Israelis. It happened because of bad communication on the part of the U.S. and major errors on the part of Israel. However, it was not intentional. It would never have happened if Israel weren't in the middle of the Six Day War. Does the phrase "The Fog of War" ring a bell?
