Tailwind scandal--??

Could this be the Navy "Tailhook" scandal?--or is there a scandal I have missed?

[Joe Bonforte]

No. Tailwind is different from Tailhook. Tailwind involved a story that was supposedly from the Vietnam War. The US supposedly used nerve gas in a mission to kill American defectors.

It was broadcast by CNN, and turned out to be mostly fabricated. CNN retracted the story, and though the leftist producer (named April Oliver) continues to insist that it's true, the evidence in favor of fabrication is irrefutable. You can read more about it here and here.
