Query: Jaded,  I agree.  I read this letter early this morning and have been thinking about it off and on.  If we really want to get at the truth of the incident/attack we need to know why Israel did it?  Let's assume the Israelis deliberately attacked the "USS Liberty".  From an Israeli standpoint what could the "Liberty" be doing that would or possibly would do that Israel would risk the wrath of the US?  That wrath could manifest itself in war, violent retaliation, ending all support, some support, or switching sides in the Arab-Israeli conflict (none of which happened).  What is it that Israel so feared from the "Liberty" that attacking it was deemed necessary and worth it?  Answering what the motivations of Israel were gets us closer to the truth than just writing about "attack and a cover-up".  By the way, it doesn't seem that the cover-up worked if it in fact there was a cover-up.
