Flags are misidentified. Do you really want me to recount the number of times American or Britishforces attacked allied ships when they KNEW that there were allied ships in an area?!
If Israel planned for the USS Liberty to be sunk, they would have used jets with anti-ship bombs. (AP 1000lb, torpedos...)

The Israelis claim there was no pre-attack reconnaissance, but in fact about an hour before the attack, a LOW flying IDF reconnaissance aircraft was seen circling the Liberty.

Review these, then tell me what you think.


Here is an Israeli reconnaissance airplane that circled the ship about an hour before the attack. The pilot was heard reporting to HQ that he saw an American flag and men sunning themselves on deck.

This is what Israel says they thought they were attacking)

USS Liberty

This is the flag that Israel claims its pilots and torpedomen could not see. While the attack was underway, an even larger flag was hoisted.
