I caught the interview with O'Neill, but I don't think I get where Koppel is coming from - - did he go to Vietnam to find old peasants who say, 35 years after the fact, that the brave Lt. Kerry struck fear into the enemy when he single-handedly fought off 20 dangerous Vietnam elite fighters?
This was a set up from begininning to end. Koppel was trying to deliver the coup de grace to the Swiftees right before the election. He failed because he underestimated John O'Neill.
Something like that!
And the Nightline crew found these "peasants" as a result of the coordinates on the after action report!
Now I have a question. Those channels and hamlets are unchanged after 35 years? and the people were only shot at by Swift Bosts once in the whole War? and the woman has told no one of the weapons in her garden for 35 years but she gave them up to a Nightline producer.
And one more question
Hasn't this story about the Mekong River delta woman, the dead husband and the buried weapons been on television before. I swear I was having deja vu watching it tonight.
