My only introduction to it was a very slanted History Channel piece, and while I enjoy the history channel from time to time, they also put on shows that take hauntings seriously, and presented a documentary stating LBJ had Kennedy killed with only minimal disclaimer so I know to take anything on there as just a start, not truth.
And there is absolutely no point in moving this into politics unless you have a theory that makes some sense as to why Israel would do this on purpose as it happened?

You most likely appreciate that anyone can edit a wiki article, but that most are usually quickly cleansed of newly added, indefensible distortion, but some slip through the cracks.
I posted that IF, the thread was exclusively about Israel attacking the USS Liberty, the statements that I posted, including the sworn affadavit of Mr. Boston, merit moving the discussion to politics....it isn't, but I think the record of official American opinion, Helms, Rusk, and more recently, Boston's 2004 affadavit, elevate the incident to what could be described in US history textbooks as the deliberate Israeli attack on the USS Liberty. The argument against it is so "polluted" with Israeli promoted disinformation, that it would need, to be taken seriously, supporting opinions from US officials with responsibilities at the time of the incident, that are at least equivalent to those of Helms, Rusk, and Boston.
