USS Liberty: Accident or Cover-up?

First of all, if you assume that, you are calling all the American veterans quoted in the Tribune article liars for testifying that they saw/heard radio transmissions that show the Israelis confirmed the ship as American.

Confirmed? Perhaps they saw an American flag but given the facts that:
1. False flag tactics in naval warfare is considered a legit tactic.
2. The USA told the UN/Israel that no US ships were in the area...then

Attacking this ship in a warzone should not have been unexpected. Again WHAT WOULD BE THE MOTIVE FOR ISRAEL TO ATTACK THEIR CLOSEST ALLY? No one can provide a rational answer to this question.... Care to answer this question?

Which side do you think is lying and why?

Both positions are not mutually exclusive.

I'll try once more:
A = False Flag Tactics can be used in naval warfare
B = USA tells Israel there are no American ships in the Area
C = Israel is at war and sees a ship in a warzone that is not suppose to be there.

A + B + C = Attack That Ship regardless of whether they see an American flag or not
Got it? You can not refute A, B, or C. Since you can't refute these three points nor give a motive why Israel would attack their closest ally then you can not support this silly assertion..... There also might be a D.
D = Israel Flight Leader was a trigger happy fool. In which case it is:
A + B + C + D = The result we got
