[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cartmaniac: [QB] OK. Operating on the assumptions that 1) Liberty had intercepted some... ultra-sensitive intel, and that 2) the ship was attacked to keep a lid on that data, AND that 3) the Israelis were aware of the US flag it flew, WHY did Washington order the reports falsified? Liberty wasn't in those waters for a pleasure cruise. It was spying on an ALLY during a time when support for Israel was at an all-time high. If things were already heated up enough for Washington to warrant THAT (I'm pretty sure active espionage qualifies as an act of war, though the legal definition is open to debate), I don't think alienating Israel was a prime concern of anyone. OTOH, why the Israelis would value the protection of that intel more than the BILLIONS of dollars of US subsidy they put on the line... it must have been VERY fucking compromising. [/QB][/QUOTE]
