If this was an accident, why were the documents classified in the first place?

The initial attack MAY have been an accident, BUT, after reading
this I can't believe the continued attack could have been an accident.

A very serious question is why was this information - at least its gist - concealed by the US government for 35 years, through seven presidencies, while the suspicions and accusations against Israel fueled a significant amount of anti-Israel sentiment among many Americans. This concealment put Israel at a serious public relations disadvantage with the Congress and American public.
My guess is that this prolonged silence was deliberate, in order to injure Israel, and its revelation now is the Bush Administration's sop to Israel for pressuring it to make yet more concessions to the PLO.
An interesting question is whether information about these secret tapes was among the info that Jonathan Pollard conveyed to the Israelis.

There is only one instance in which Congressional Medals of Honor have been awarded in secrecy, and that was to sailors who weathered the attack on the USS Liberty.

The hardest accusation to believe concerning the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty was that the Israelis were too stupid to realize they were attacking their best, and almost only, ally in an extended attack in broad daylight. Sorry, still don't buy it. I support Israel but 36(?) of our men were killed doing their duty in international waters.
