That 35 year old incident is a favorite topic of anti-semites. They drag it out to try and stir up anti-Israeli sentiments. Even though the U.S. and Israel have come to terms with this (as the principals define) incident, the jew haters will continue to reguritate specious speculation that the Jews are our enemies, somehow. Their intent to smear Israel is obvious.

Yup. Post something about the USS Cole you won't get 20 hits. Post something about the Liberty you'll get 200. The Liberty event has long been adopted by the enemies of Israel and anti-semites, as even a Liberty survivor acknowleged in a press release, which I'll get my hands on and post later.

Have you read the chapter in Bamford's book?

If you look, you'll see I post on Cole threads too. I happen to have been in the part of the Navy that the Liberty belonged to, the Naval Security Group, so I naturally have an interest in the subject. And I also know what almost everyone in that community thinks about the attack on the Liberty.

I could have a field day on this point. You're right on the money, and this same point applies to many other topics discussed on these boards.
