	The USS Liberty Inquiry Forum - Visibility of the flag (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		None of those pictures were taken in a wartime atmosphere as happened in the USS Liberty case.
		As for the argument that pilots must be absolutely certain as to the nationality of a vehicle (such as a ship) before firing, it should be pointed out that the USAF in Southwest Asia has attacked British, Canadian and American vehicles that were marked just as clearly, if not more so, as was the Liberty.
		If for some reason the USS Liberty's flag was not apparent, then the IDF could have easily used one of several international distress and calling radio frequencies to contact the obviously solitary, slow-moving, non-aggressive, non-evasive, apparent cargo ship in international waters, on a perfectly clear day -- it did not.
