I was surprised by the shots the bastards took at him. I had already done the math on Tiger Force being his baby but it was a full year after he was gone before things went astray. They did their best to not make that obvious and to bring up the speculation against him without a factual reference. In my mind it and some other instances of this sort of ad hominem attacks in journalism actually detract from the story and prevent people from taking it as seriously as perhaps they should. The obvious slant in the writing put me off but there were some solid points raised in regards to this being whitewashed or just plain buried and forgotten.

I sort of expect something to be done in light of the warming of relations with Vietnam as a way of shmoozing the Vietnamese. Hence my reason for asking about it.
