So, because the NSA may have disobeyed orders (or more likely was just guilty of a screw-up in conveying those orders,) you blame the NSA, and not the Israelis who killed the sailors, or the LBJ White House, that refused to let fighters defend the Liberty and later hushed the whole matter up, presumably for political reasons. That sounds like skewed morality to me. Who's behaving like a two-year-old?

By the way, could you please explain what offensive action the Liberty had committed that justified a murderous attack on the ship of an ally? What was so awful about operating in international waters off that coast? Does disobeying a presidential order carry a death sentence, not even for the people guilty of the disobedience, but for those who, as far as they knew, were faithfully executing their orders?

I don't know, dude. Ask their officers in command.
As for being in international waters, you aren't paying attention. They were ordered into international waters but never went. They were smack in the middle of a war zone.
