A quote from Dean Rusk, former US Secretary of State:

I was never satisfied with the Israeli explanation. Their sustained attack to disable and sink Liberty precluded an assault by accident or some trigger-happy local commander. Through diplomatic channels we refused to accept their explanations. I didn't believe them then, and I don't believe them to this day. The attack was outrageous.

They also tried to say that they asked the US to keep their ships away or at least tell them where the ships were. However, they didn't ask this until after the boat was sunk.
