Congress has thoroughly investigated every disaster involving
the US Navy EXCEPT for the USS Liberty.

Really?!
Would you like to compare the The USS Stark Incident
(see http://eightiesclub.tripod.com/id344.htm), with
37 American seamen dead, to the Liberty?

Can you please tell us what special investgation Congress did about
the Stark and not about the Liberty? Come on, you made a claim now
prove it.

BTW my impression is that Congress usually accepts the Navy's Court
of inquiry conclusions; e.g. USS Greeneville. If you have some
counter examples, where Congress rejected the Navy's Court
of inquiry conclusions, then please post them.
