Brinkley was supposedly writing an article that was designed to clear up the Cambodia fiasco. Was that ever released? Maybe he realized that he was being thrown over the side of the swift boat. He would have then been lumped in with such noted historian as the blagarist Doris Kearns Goodwin as someone who has no credibility at all. He probably has wised up and decided that he should not sell his credibiliy down the Mekong River.

Yeah, you might be more right than I am.

I wonder if that's it. He had this song and dance ready to go, and they capitulated.

In a word, NO.

That's what I'm thinking. The left's grip on the flow of information is out of their control and threatens to ruin them. The internet and bloggers have taken down more than one historian when they pump out propaganda (I'm thinking of Bellesiles, the anti-gun "historian" that wrote a best-selling book on the supposed lack of guns in America's history), and I think Brinkley is well aware of that.
