Anyone can read up on this incident if you try hard enough. This attack went on for 45 minutes and an American sub was close by, observing but ordered not to say anything then or since.
One consistant story of WHY was that the "Liberty" had discovered the Isrealis were killing 100s of Egyptain POWs on the beach and had to be silenced.
The U.S. was concerned that Russia was going to get into it and the Isreali airforce would have been history if we didn't start WWIII to save our investments.

Why didn't the US government condemn Israel then?
