No matter how hard Koppel tried to discredit O'Neil and the Swifties. O'Neil was able to back up the Swifties assertions citing Kerry's own words.
Koppel showed his true colors throughout the whole interview. He wondered why 22 Vietnamese would tell a different story than the Swiftvets. O'Neil wondered why Koppel would go to Vietnam to interview 22 villagers and not interview any swiftvets for this program. O'Neil's also showed Koppel the picture of Kerry that hangs in the Vietnam War Heros Museum honoring Kerry for his support. Koppel dismissed the question and assertion with some lame excuse and continued hammering at O' Neil. Koppel got so frustrated with O'Neil citing pictues, chapter and verse that we cheered,because John had Ted on the ropes and wouldn't back off. O'Neil was too much for Koppel to handle. Good for O'Neil!
O'Neil Won, Koppel Lost!
If you're not adding any new information, put "vanity" in the title.
Best account I have heard yet of the interview. I wish I had seen it.
Perhaps CapeBuffalo should salute and say "yes sir."
"You were had, Ted."
"It's up to Kerry to defend himself, of course. But as one of the few news organizations with the skill and strength to help voters evaluate what the candidates are saying to serve the public interest. Now is the time for all of us to step up and do that right."
-- Mark Halperin, ABC News Political Director, 10/8/04
Interesting, that a media opportunist like Koppel, who got his job because of American Hostages in Iran, has the nerve to question SBVT's veracity.
Thanks for the update. Hopefully Rush or Hannity will have sound bites.
Who pee pee'd in your wheaties posting police?

I was delighted to hear that Koppel lost last night. But, please remember, Koppel lost when he launched his very first "Nightline" and has lost with every single show after that. Koppel is synonymous with loser. It's an insult to call a person, a "koppel".
Bump.
If you're not Jim Robinson don't give orders.
Thanks will look at it tonight. I am surprised they would leave this link up.
Unfortunately I missed the interview. I've heard questions about some woman's earrings. Don't kown how it fits into this interview.
LOL!
Why? because you can't tell a "vanity" unless one puts it in the title??? Or are you the "post police"?
Good job, thanks.
O'Neil is a credit to Viet Nam vets!
Thanks for the review, since we didn't watch the show last night. I'm glad O'Neill let him have it both barrels!
