Seeing how this attack took place during the Yom Kippur War and we needed Israel to continue fighting then Egyptian President Nasser for the sake of American interests being achieved, it is no surprise that this was covered up.
This is really when America began pushing for the unfounded and unconditional support for Israel, regardless of the atrocities they continually commit. The indoctrination toward blind Israel support was too fresh in 1968 for it to be tarnished by this attack, hence the cover-up.
It's a mutual relationship... they act as our extended hand in the middle east and we award them with our support (with money, arms, and words) despite the conflicting opinions of practically every other member of the international community.

Seems like we're paying a heavy price for "an extended hand in the middle east".
