Re-thinking, restating my opinion, I think they have a right to get at the
actual facts without gov't interference.

Maybe Larry needs to re-read the info on their website, since he uses this
to promote his anti-semetic positions, at one point claiming that Hitler
didn't finish the job. From the website in part:
Anti-Semitism and the Anti-American Apologists


The USS Liberty Memorial web site abhors the racist and extreme positions
taken by antiSemitic, Holocaust denial, conspiracy theorist and other such
groups which often seek to identify with us and to usurp our story as
their own. We have no connection with and do not support or encourage
support from any of these groups including National Alliance, National
Vanguard, The New Order, National Socialists, The French Connection,
Liberty Lobby, American Free Press, Republic Broadcasting, AFP's Liberty
Radio Hour, or other such groups. We wish harm to no one and encourage
social justice and equality for everyone; we seek only accountability for
the criminal acts perpetrated against us and can do that without help from
hate-mongers.

And I agree with their position whole-heartedly. I am opposed to the "Israel
can do no wrong" mindset. It is not anti-Semitic to point out when they have
crossed the line and perpetrated attrocities, just as it is not
anti-American to point out when our own government has done the same.


Israel mistakenly attacked a friendly because the friendly was in a
place it wasn't supposed to be (basically a free fire zone) during a
time when Israel was under attack by an enemy that seriously threatened
Israel's very existence. All the cover up later is proof of nothing more
than the same CYA that everyone does.
