I don't think the publishers would pass muster as being unbiased:

I am more inclined to believe the testimonies of the people on board the ship and on land based listening posts. Especially so since there has long been evidence that logs were falsified after the event and that the board of inquiry was directed to give a predetermined explanation.

Your going to need more than simply snide comments like jew hater to backup your claims...the propaganda of calling anyone who questions israel anti-semitic or a jew hater stopped working a long time ago.

You got the story all wrong there was no attempt to get into life boats the ship sailed into harbor under its own steam. There was no us aircraft carriers in the area either the 6th fleet was still on its way arrived the next day to help liberty limp into port total injuries were 27 death the whole and 33 injuries. The planes were observers and not attack air craft had no offensive capabilities. Finally the damage was caused by 3 torpedo boats firing 5 torpedos one of which managed to contact the ship.
The captain admits in his log that his gunner fired on the patrol boats even before the torpedo was launched. The incident its self is friendly fire. The only thing is how isreal made the mistake in the first place it was stated that the liberty was taken off the tactical board because they lost its position then a ship popped up and they thought it was hostile. Can happen that why they call it friendly fire. The only conspiracy is whoever pulled the ship off the board needed to be tried and this was never discovered.
There was also mistakes made by the US they didnt realize how close this ship got to egypt and the order was given to leave the area but it was too late. And there is no way this ship could tell if they were killing people and putting them in mass graves.The ship monitored radio frequencies hoping to ease drop on Egyptian pilots. Israeli communications were all ready being monitored from Israel without the ship we had listening posts in isreal.

I am right there with you, however sadly, my b.a. is a double major in Political Science and History, tragically amusing I know. Fortunately, I did have one teacher my senior year of college that encouraged us and told us some of the truth or at least the perspective from the "losers" of history, and greatly helped us in exploring information from sources other than the msm. It troubles me that many many students may not have that "one" professor in all of their education. I firmly believe that there is a lot to be said for self education, often times you will discover or learn things that would never be taught in a traditional class room, things that are an invaluable lesson as part of history.
