No, he was actually quite lucid in his hourlong interview with Mudd on the History Channel last night. What you're missing is that this is WHAT CONKRITE BELIEVED all those years he was reading the "news" on CBS and its what he believes now. Fascinating segment where Cronkite was asked about his little onair speech demanding US withdrawal from Vietnam in the wake of the Tet Offensive. He was apparently ordered to do it by Richard Salant, CBS News director, which tells you all you need to know about that "news" organization and what kind of trash ran it.
That's true, Walter has always been a "One Worlder" who would gladly see the US destoryed for world government by the UN.
Ran it? Past tense? More like have, and continue to run it ...
'Fraid not. Cronkite has boasted, for years, that he stopped the war - and consequently cost a lot of men their lives, and long captivity as POWs. Way-a-go Walt. Commie bloodbath, he'd say, WHAT Commie bloodbath?
So now it's all his news director's fault. Maybe Walt is feeling a tinge of conscience, after all this time. Maybe he's feel a tad guilty with all those dead on his hands. Maybe. Then again, Kerry doesn't. That would make Walt Cronkite a more moral man than the guy now picking his cabinet for when he wins the US Presidency, even if he has to steal the election to win.
