I think it is very straightforward. Ted and Nightline were "had." The incident they reported was NOT the same as the February 28, 1969 action. It's that simple.

It would be interesting to see what Swift Boat actions took place on or around May 12, 1969.

Ted couldn't have been so stupid not to know, that in a communist country people aren't just allowed to talk to foreign reporters and say what they want.

The whole thing was a put up job by the Vietnamese communist government.

Ted, as Kerry did in 1971 was spouting exactly what the communist Vietnamese government wanted them to.

And Koppel calls himself a journalist. How pathetic. It's actually even worse than what Dan Rather did.
