...My take on what happened is that the Liberty was mistaken for the Egyptian ship that the Isreali pilots and sailors were sent to intercept, and predisposed to identify as such. A horrible mistake abetted by Johnson's ordering the ship into an area we had been warned against entering.

Your source?

The Isrealis had nothing to gain and everything to lose by deliberately attacking a U.S. warship.

If your 'source' is accurate then clearly you lack strategic logic.

The Liberty's crew members and their family's are angry over what happened, justly so, but their anger IMHO is mis-directed.

With this kind of spin one can only wonder at your motives.

You pretend to have facts that simply are not available to you, speaking from a position of alleged experience, so my advice is simple. Drop the subject.

I have no motives in this argument one way or another. But I find it interesting that anyone who takes my position is always accused of being mis-informed or of trying to spread dis-information based on some secret, sinister motive.

As for facts, it would not matter what "facts" I presented, you would not accept any of them. I have been down this road before with people like you and I'm tired of it. You guys always degenerate into the personal smears.

You have already called my character into question for no good reason and that tells anyone who reads your post how objective you are.
