re: The US may very well have told the Israelis we were not in the area, but I doubt they knew the Israelis were planning to attack the Liberty. That is actually not completely true. From what I recall Liberty was ordered to leave the area (as per official US version) because of the impending war. It is a real tragedy that thirty four young American sailors died then but it is border line ridiculous to think that Israel would intentionally attack American ship knowing that: 1) US is biggest Israel's Ally 2) there were American ships including two Carriers in the area It may be true that Liberty position was considered as a secret but US knew very well that Israel would attack any military ship of unknown origin. -AK
