What's John O'Neill doing now? He's from Texas.

What's John O'Neill doing now? He's from Texas.

Lawyer in Houston. He may be retired now, I forget. C-SPAN interviewed him (and Cavett) briefly by phone before they started playing the tape.

And if O'Neill's not a freeper, why isn't he???

He's just so well-spoken, and articulate, when facing this dumb JFK idolizer.

I turned the channel late, but did hear that O'Neill had served as a Law Clerk for Justice Rhenquist. Dick Cavett, who the C-Span moderator spoke to after O'Neill said something about O'Neill donating a kidney to
his (O'Neill's) wife.

But in a telephone interview from Texas, where he is a trial attorney, O'Neill made it clear he still harbors resentment at the way Kerry accused veterans of atrocities.

"The primary reason I got involved was I thought the charges of war crimes were irresponsible and wrong," O'Neill said. "I thought they did a real disservice to all the people that were there. I thought they were immoral."

The bitterness remains. Asked whether he agrees with the view of some observers that Kerry was forever altered by the war, O'Neill responded: "The war didn't change [Kerry]. I think he was a guy driven tremendously by ambition. I think he was that way before he went and is that way today."
