An old conspiracy theory rears its ugly head

Most people familiar with the Six Day War recall that during the conflict, Israeli jets attacked a U.S. warship in the area, the Liberty. Despite exhaustive investigations which clearly established that attack was accidental, some won't let it go, including this Op-Ed columnist in Australia: http://www.theage.com.au/news/opinion/six-days-of-war-40-years-of-secrecy/2007/05/26/1179601730257.html. This is frustrating beyond belief, but if a person hates Israel, as this writer obviously does, you will find any theory, no matter how flimsy, to justify that belief. For more on the debunking of this particular conspiracy theory, go here: http://www.honestreporting.com/articles/critiques/Return_of_the_USS_Liberty.asp.
