Also yesterday, James E. Beardsley Jr., attorney for a Vietnam War veteran who is seen in a war protest in "Stolen Honor," said he would sue Sinclair if it airs the movie. The veteran, Kenneth J. Campbell, now a University of Delaware professor, sued filmmaker Carlton Sherwood for libel this week. The movie "made him look like a liar, a fraud and a fabricator" by suggesting he made baseless charges about a Vietnam massacre, Beardsley said.
Sherwood called the suit "an obvious public relations stunt," noting in a statement that Campbell is not named in the film. After a Philadelphia theater canceled plans to show "Stolen Honor," Sherwood accused Kerry supporters of trying to "silence and censor the voices of veteran POWs."
Kenneth Campbell is an admitted war criminal. He's claiming it's libel to say he isn't.

They've never said they would air the entire video. From the beginning, it was to have been a 60-minute show, and they had offered Kerry a chance to use some of that time for a rebuttal! All this "Sinclair caved" is just so much caca del toro. Give them credit for standing up to the opposition as they have been.
I was fooled by the spin in the article when I added the parenthetical. Should just read:
Anti-Kerry Film Won't Be Aired
