source
In some cases, such material comes via sources that are not themselves reliable (eg an authors own blog) but they are from authors who are, or can be regarded as, authoritative in relation to the subject. The full rule book is at Wikipedia: Reliable Sources. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources) Wikispooks seeks to operate to standards of "Reliable Sources" that the Wikipedia seems unable to do on this topic. Both the main Wikispooks article and this sub-article are intended to be read in conjunction with the Wikipedia account of the USS Liberty Incident (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident). The Wikipedia article contains large amounts of detail (not avoidably duplicated here) presented in a distorted fashion.
Reliable Sources from independent commentators overwhelmingly dispute "accident theory" Sources discussing the USS Liberty Incident overwhelmingly state that the Israelis knew they were attacking a ship of the US. Every one of the independent or "neutral" commentators (as best as can be ascertained) has come to believe that this attack could not have occured accidentally. This attack could not have been a case of "Friendly Fire". However, it is necessary that the reader has the opportunity to check this for themselves and so this listing covers (or is intended to cover) all significant sources, including those showing conflict of interest, other bias or, in some cases, suspicion of fraud. Note - The number of citations recorded by "Google Scholar" (last updated March 2012) has been used as a rough and ready guide to the reputation of author/s and the value of a book. There are 100s (if not 1000s) of references to this incident in published accounts and this listing will never be able to show them all. However, some accounts are taken seriously and cited by many other authors and some are not. Please add all other significant accounts you are aware of.
