If you look at how the incident has been played down, covered up, those bringing it up accused of anti-Semitism, it's pretty easy to tell who's problem. I watched an interview with some of the sailors - one Jewish sailor was beside himself with anger over the way it was handled, and the attempt to color the folks that wanted to get sunlight on the incident. It's just one of many instances where bringing up unpleasant facts gets the reaction of name-calling, character assassination, and a media blackout over the event.</blockquote>
