How many people remember that Diem was shot execution style with his hands tied behind his back in the back of a ARVN truck? It was the first really stupid move in a war that the Viet Cong were convinced to keep fighting because sooner or later we would support an equally stupid move.
Diem was no saint but he at least deserved safe protection out for his efforts to keep the Communists out of the government.
