"he commandeered a small plane in Thailand, flew over Ho Chi Minh City and scattered thousands of tiny leaflets calling for a popular uprising."

And I'm sure that thousands of Vietnamese on the ground agreed with him. We'll only learn how bad it was under communism when the present regime falls, and people are free to talk.

There have been thousands upon thousands of boat people who have fled Vietnam over the past thirty years, and thousands more who fled under the "Orderly Departure Program". When I was out at the Cu Chi tunnels, twelve years ago, I met some old guys who asked me what life was like in Georgia, as they were about to move there under the Orderly Departure Program. My friend's parents and two sisters came over to the US on the ODP at about the same time.

What went on in Vietnam after 1975, and what continues to go on, is no secret.
