USS Liberty: Accident or Cover-up?

[bills217]

I've recently been reading a lot about the USS Liberty incident - interesting to say the least. There seems to be both compelling evidence and inconsistencies for both sides. Almost everyone I've talked to seems to think it was planned by Israel through and through, but the wiki article seems to lean toward the accident angle. If it's true that Johnson helped cover up the attack for political reasons, man - that is a real black eye for the country.

Anyhow, gonna watch the BBC documentary and some of the other videos on Google video about it...but first I thought I'd see what the 2+2 Politics forum thinks of the incident. Feel free to add relevant commentary.
