I'm not sure what your point is. I am very well aware that the Liberty was collecting intelligence and was under the operational control of NSA. As I said, I am a former member of the Naval Security Group myself.

Are you saying that you think those facts justify Israel's attacking her? For the Liberty to collect intelligence in international waters was perfectly legal under international law.

Thought you were a reader, aristeides. Read more than you have cited in your post and the rest of what I have cited in mine. There were many, many screwups that day.
I KNOW what the NSA is, how they boarded, and that none of the crew were aware of the ship's mission.
Naval Security is NOT the NSA, but mayhap you can explain to me so I understand, exactly, why it is that the planes sent by the Saratoga were called back by none other than the Whitehouse. Inquiring minds want to know.
