Here's a link to Annenberg's site for the series, "
Ethics in America". All ten parts are summarized and a link for video on demand is available. The episode, "Politics, Privacy and the Press" is the one you're talking about. They also sell the video in VHS format.
I've never seen this, but it doesn't surprise me that Mike Wallace and Peter Jennings would express this kind of heartless sentiment. I wonder if Mike Wallace's son, Chris, is of an age to have served in Vietnam?

My apologies, I was wrong about the episode. According to the footnotes from Kent Cassella's paper on this subject, it is episode seven, "Under Orders, Under Fire (Part II)" where this exchange between Mike Wallace, Peter Jennings and Colonel Connell took place.
The Annenberg site says you can buy individual episodes only if you contact them by phone. I think I will buy this one.
