I wish I could refer you to a yahoo group where this book and it's misinformation are credibly discussed by survivors of the USS Liberty. But instead, I'll say this. The Hull numbers were clearly visible on the side of the ship as was the American flag flying high. Yet, it was strafed and shot at for 25 minutes, by those who claim they didn't know it was American. I'll never buy the Israeli story, or this guy's willingness to overlook FACTS.

Which does absolutely no good for planes coming in from directly astern.

Their own radio chatter indicates that this was the case. Are you saying that this was merely an extremely clever deception exercise? That they pulled it off without one slipup?

I'll never buy the Israeli story, or this guy's willingness to overlook FACTS.

What should I make of your willingness to overlook facts that you don't like?
