It I walk into the midle of a known firefight, it is my fault if I'm shot.

And to you it doesn't matter if its an Israeli or an American. My loyalties are with the the 34 Americans who died on the USS Liberty at the hands on the Israelis...

I was horrified when I learnt of the USS Liberty attack. It was a horrible accident.
The anger of the survivors and of the family and friends is understandable, as the horror fealt by all Americans.
None of this means that there was no culpability on our part.
Can you explain to me why the US lied about the locations of our ships, failed to inform Israel that intelligence ships would be in the area, refused a request for a Naval liason, and put a ship into a war zone?
There is a lot of guilt to go around here.
