Let's ask Liberty's survivors:
"The Cover Up
"
Despite a near-universal consensus that the Israeli attack was made with full knowledge that USS Liberty was a US Navy ship, the Johnson administration began an immediate cover-up of this fact.
"Though administration officers continued individually to characterize the attack as deliberate, the Johnson administration never sought the prosecution of the guilty parties or otherwise attempted to seek justice for the victims.
"They concealed and altered evidence in their effort to downplay the attack.
"Though they never formally accepted the Israeli explanation that it was an accident, they never pressed for a full investigation either.
"They simply allowed those responsible literally to get away with murder.
"In an ongoing effort to reveal the truth about the attack, the USS Liberty Veterans Association has filed with the Secretary of the Army in the manner prescribed by law a detailed, fully documented Report of War Crimes describing the circumstances of the attack on our ship and evidence that it was a crime under international law.
"In accordance with international law and treaties, the United States is obligated to investigate the allegations.
"So far, the United States has declined even to acknowledge that the report has been filed.

Not that you really care
Right?
