Cute picture, rbshirley! 
Ohmigosh, the amount could have been measured almost in the cost of a Venti Frappucino with an extra shot of espresso.
Another question might be, "What was going to happen to any villager who misspoke or didn't tell the correct story?"
Ted Koppel didn't seem to have a clue about this aspect of going into a closed country and interviewing people who were under the watch of a "minder."
And this is a person who has helped to form our national consensus for the last thirty years!
May he and Dan RAthER be flushed down the same toilet.

In an article in the SEA regional paper Globe and Mail: U.S. warrrior wins respect
| Columnist Marina Jimenez wrote: |
TRA VINH, VIETNAM -- In the spartan banquet room of the Coolong Hotel,
the Communist Party apparatchiks all agree on one thing: ... Democratic
Senator John Kerry is the best candidate for U.S. President.
----
"We hope he wins the election. He is a good man but not a hero. The
only real hero is Uncle Ho," says Tra Vinh Governor Tran Van Ven.
----
The party officials around the table grunted in agreement, raising their
glasses once again. "Yo, dong chi [Down the hatch, comrade]!" Mr. Ven
salutes.
No one dared to disagree.

THIS PROGRAM WAS A KERRY SET-UP.
The initial contact to the villagers was made by a
supposed "swiftboat vet". Probably one of Kerry's buddies
who has been "in Country" for years. He interviewed the
villagers and probably gave them the script that they were to follow.
Then Nightline was informed of a good story here.
The Vietnam Government first denied ABC entrance into the country,
then reversed itself. (probable payoff??)
Then Nightline interviews the villagers with a communist "minder"
along to intimidate the villagers, making sure they stuck to
the script.
As John O'Neill said: "YOU'VE BEEN HAD, TED!" |

| Why does ABC believe the villagers when they weren't in Kerry's boat were they ? I thought the MSM claimed you had to be right in his boat to know what happened ? Why doesn't ABC ask Cambodian villiagers if Kerry was in Camobodia in Christmas 1968 ? Is it because most of the Cambodias were killed by Kerry's friends the communists? Even though Kerry said they wouldn't be . Why don't they ask the villagers in the villages Kerry burned down what Kerry did ? |
