I care about this because: 1) I have a great deal of respect for our military. 2) This attack was terrible, whether it was intentional or not. These guys weren't in a war zone or some place where one should expect to be attacked. The crew of the USS Liberty was the victim of a major screw up. If the attack was unintentional, it was a military intelligence "screw up". If the attack was intentional, it was a moral/ethical "screw up". It's a tragedy either way. These men deserve our respect and sympathy for what they went through, and their heroism in defending their ship should be recognized. 3) There is reason to believe that the incident wasn't properly investigated.
