I was an Arabic linguist serving in US Army Inteligence at Asmara, Ethiopia, at the time of the attack. There was a huge radio intercept facility at Kagnew Station outside of Asmara. It was clear to everone working at the intercept facility that the Israelis deliberately attacked the Liberty. Many of us had friends and collegues aboard the Liberty. We knew that we might just as easily have been stationed there as in Ethiopia. No one was allowed to tell what we knew happened that day.
