Re: Personally, I think it was attacked on purpose, on the order of someone on the Israeli general staff. I don't believe the decision was made by an Israeli politician.

I'm afraid your niggling subtleties that cast Israeli military apart from mere politicians is irrelevant as far as Israel is concerned.... Israel is a garrison state whose executive has always been in the grip of seasoned generals: Moshe Dayan, Itzak Rabin, (PM candidate) Mordechai, Barak, Sharon,... just show me one Israeli PM/Defense Minister who was not a former general.

Hence Israeli military chiefs can't pin it on the politicians --they're all potential statesmen and most of them will eventually be crowned Minister....

Re: The attack on the Liberty may share considerable comparisons to the US attack on the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. I can't believe Clinton would be willing to upset his Chinese "buddies" by ordering such an attack.

"Considerable" similarities with the US missile attack on the Chinese embassy? Was the US a HOSTILE country to Israel at the time? Besides, the violence of the Israeli pounding --by air and off the Sinai coast-- of the US ship doesn't compare with the US loosing off a single missile astray....

Moreover, there've been enough evidences exposing security breaches within NATO: French officers were briefing the Serbs all along about the air campaign's targets.
