Yup, I remember watching Cavett's show the night that was aired. Kerry took out his cigarette lighter and set the hut's straw roof on fire. It's been a long time, but there IS NO DOUBT in my mind this film exists. Bet my eye teeth on it.
whassamattah wif youse...never heard of "urban renewal?"..it was very big in the 60's..
Wow. Can I ask what you thought when you saw it?
I can't believe they have footage of the actual event. My disbelief is based on my notion that toting around a film camera in the jungle during a war has got to be awkward. But seems to me I recall mentions that Kerry would film things in Vietnam. And because some of that footage didn't turn out well he sometimes had to do "reanactments". So I'm supposing this could be the real thing.
If it's a reenactment I guess the defense will probably be that Kerry was simply trying to visually demonstrate some of the atrocities he saw in Vietnam.
