Cronkite and the Klintons.

Thank you for posting that photo. That picture was taken a few days after Clinton made his disastrous "confession" to the nation re Lewinsky--I think it was 8/17/98--and it has ALWAYS bothered me that Cronkhite was on the yacht with the Clintons during their conveniently-timed vacation.

As far as I am concerned, Uncle Walter is less trustworthy than Dan Rather, Mary Mapes, and Joe Lockhart, and he LIED to me on a nightly basis when I was too naive to know any better.

Just like Dan Rather's "the Wall Within" did irreparable harm to the image of our country in the eyes of the world, Cronkhite's reporting of the Vietnam war did irreparable damage to the image of our military in the eyes of its countrymen. And what really frosts me is that LBJ used Cronkhite as a source of "intelligence" to conclude that the Tet Offensive was a failure.

God save us from CBiaS' intelligence!!!

I can't get the 800 FBI files out of my mind. Lockhart, Begala, Carville, et.al.
I'm thinking "Bitch set me up"
Truly yours
