You are absolutely correct.
Nightline will not mention the hoops they jumped through to get permission to film and interview in Ca Mau. They will not tell the audience they've got several CP officials in tow, and a CP interpreter and some local Ca Mau official vetting the VC "veterans" for this piece.
I've lived in VN, I've spent significant time on the Delta, I've known Western reporters who covered VN, and I've read some of the Hanoi regs that regulate foreign news organizations.
This story was tainted by the VN CP before it was captured on videotape.
what time does it come on?
