Members of the radical group Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) are busy preparing to host a new war crimes conference next month in Washington. The event, billed as Winter Soldier: Iraq & Afghanistan, takes its title from the IVAWs namesake and mentor, the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). However, information has now come to light that profoundly undermines the VVAWs original atrocity claims.

However, Turse omitted the most basic fact about the CIDs VVAW investigations the fact that all but one case was closed as unsubstantiated, demonstrably untrue, or for lack of evidence.

Unfortunately one has to register with military.com otherwise you won’t find a name when a search is done. Also poster can use nicknames.

It’s early here and I haven’t had my second cup of Joe yet LOL,
but wasn’t the issue of VVAW covered years ago and proven that they weren’t anything more than a bunch of liars who if memory serves NONE had been to Nam and many of the members weren’t even or had they ever been in the military...
And “race”, correct me if I’m wrong here, but as far as these antiwar groups during the Viet Nam war go,
they were all just a bunch of Commie infiltrated groups just doing the Chicoms dirty work for them here in the States to get America out of Viet Nam.
Semper Fi,
Kelly

The Los Angeles Times had access to these records more than a year ago. In a long 2006 article on war crimes in Vietnam, reporters Nick Turse and Deborah Nelson reported:The Times examined most of the [Vietnam War Crimes Working Group] files and obtained copies of about 3,000 pages about a third of the total before government officials removed them from the public shelves, saying they contained personal information that was exempt [sic] from the Freedom of Information Act.
So, you're telling me that the Los Angeles Times knew the truth about the nature of the results of the CID investigations and still decided to spin the article against the US Govt?
I'm shocked!
Have you forwarded this to the Pulitzer committee? You should.
Regards,
TS

The “peace” movement is the communist movement. (Looks and smell like a bowel movement.)

That is a DoD register, did you see that search option? NOT just a Military.com search
