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.

Yeah, I don't think they would deliberately, as a policy, bomb the one
country that supports them almost no matter what. It was a terrible
situation, but no conspiracy beyond the CYA.
