"ONE MAN-ONE VOICE"


Charles Morgan, Jr. lawyer, retired and living in Northern Florida, wrote a book in 1979 titled "ONE MAN-ONE VOICE".

No longer in print and only available in the reference sections of some major libraries, Chuck Morgan writes about his various challenges while successfully defending the likes of Muhamed Ali, myself and others.

Chapter 12, below, is an example of Chuck's wit and humor. If you have the opportunity to locate this book, I can promise an entertaining experience and wonderment of just how troubled our judicial system is in America.

One Man, One Voice Chapter 12
The following chapter is from a book written by Charles Morgan, Jr., my attorney during the appellate process. This book; One Man, One Voice is a compilation of events surrounding various clients of Mr. Morgan. He successfully represented Muhammad Ali, Howard Levy and others whose Civil Liberties were trashed by the US Government. The book, published in 1979, is out of print, unfortunately. It is not available in the San Francisco Library System, the Phoenix Library System, and there is one copy, sometimes, in the entire Los Angeles Library System in the Reference Section of the Main Library in Beverly Hills. Of note is the quote from Washington Post Reporter Murray Marder. It would take another 21 years to locate National Security Documents showing Treason in War (see below). The publisher was Holt, Rinehart and Winston.

Chapter 12
Captain John J. McCarthy of Special Forces had been tried in secret and sentenced to life for the murder of a "peasant." At Fort Leavenworth he and Howard Levy were subjected to unusual punishment: The army made them cellmates. I could understand the kind of army reasoning which put them together, thinking back to the time I had run away from military school and they had brought me back just to kick me out.

I could also understand the logic in Levy's request that I represent McCarthy. I had been denied access to Levy's low-classified G-2 dossier which held no "national security" secrets. Access to the highly secret transcript in McCarthy's case would undercut any "security risk" argument which the army might make to justify its denial to me of Levy's dossier. If the army refused me "Top Secret" clearance, neither Levy nor McCarthy would be worse off that they already were, and McCarthy would be able to assign that refusal as a deprivation of his right to select counsel of his own choosing.

The prison conference room in which McCarthy and I met was so small that it turned whispers into shouts. We sized each other up. He had pale blue eyes. He was wiry, neat even in fatigues, and of medium height. He talked freely, but he knew more about the charge than the transcript disclosed. If he had killed that "peasant"---and he didn't believe he had---he had done so accidentally, and somewhere that peasant had a service record which would show him to be every bit as skilled and "special" as McCarthy.

In January 1960, on his seventeenth birthday, John McCarthy had enlisted in the army. After he qualified as a paratrooper and finished Special Forces training, he was stationed in Germany. Extraordinarily competent, his expertise included jumping from airplanes at 30,000 feet and opening his parachute 500 feet above ground or water, and, if water, swimming under it.

In October 1964, he completed officer training and was assigned to a Special Forces organization in Okinawa. Next came Vietnam. He returned to Okinawa and from there had a number of short-term assignments. On Taiwan he served on a joint United States---Republic of China team. Later he worked with a group of military men from the Republic of the Philippines. In June 1967, when the army sent Levy to prison, it sent McCarthy to Vietnam as an operations officer. In the early-morning hours after Thanksgiving night--November 24, 1967--McCarthy, who always operated under civilian cover, and a Special Forces sergeant, also dressed as a civilian, went to a "safe house" in Vietnam where "Jimmie," a male Oriental with whom they worked, was quartered. McCarthy told the sergeant, "Go outside and bring Jimmie." According to the unclassified portions of the trial transcript, Jimmie was a Cambodian who belonged to the highly secret Khmer Serie (Free Cambodia). In the wee hours of that November morning, McCarthy, Jimmie, and the sergeant left Saigon on the road to Ho Ngoc Tao in a four-door civilian Datsun. The sergeant drove. Jimmie had been caught possessing documents which jeopardized the security of McCarthy's secret unit. Jimmie at in the front seat center. At his right McCarthy held a .38-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver loosely in his left hand behind the front seat.

As they amiable chatted there was a loud "explosion." The windshield frosted into honeycombed cracks. Jimmie slumped, a hole through his head, blood pouring from his face, dead.

They hid the corpse under a tarpaulin in a six-foot ditch and returned to the detachment compound. McCarthy went to bed. The sergeant reported the incident. The next morning the detachment commander, a non-Special Forces "intelligence officer," placed McCarthy under arrest. After sixty days' confinement at Long Binh jail, known affectionately as LBJ, McCarthy was secretly tried.

His counsel, Captain Stewart P. Davis, stipulated that "Jimmie," known by several other names, including Inchin Hai Lam, was dead. He also agreed that McCarthy was one of the three men in the automobile; that his weapon discharged inside that automobile; that previous to that "Jimmie" was alive, and afterward he was dead. The question for the court-martial was How had Jimmie been killed? Murder? Ambush? Shrapnel? A stray shot? A ricochet from the accidental discharge of McCarthy's.38? Davis said, "[The prosecution] cannot connect Captain McCarthy's weapon and the wound."

Davis looks like the movie-star version of a Special Forces man--solidly built, well tanned, his quiet approach to the law and life belying an ability to withstand pressure. After becoming a paratrooper, he graduated from Washington and Lee's law school and served in the Judge Advocate Generals Corps.

Davis and McCarthy made an excellent defense team. The lawyer liked his client, who insisted he had wanted Jimmie questioned, not killed.

Their problem was the pathologist. He had observed no powder burns on the skin on Jimmie's neck near the wound, and in his expert opinion any weapon larger than a .25 caliber would have produced both a star-shaped wound and a burn visible to the naked eye. Since he found gunpowder within the wound he concluded that the weapon had been held against Jimmie's body. The .38 would have made a larger hold, and a more pronounced gunpowder "tattoo." The pathologist said a weapon of .25 caliber or less had been held against Jimmie's neck. That ruled out an accidental or stray shot, shrapnel or a ricochet. It also ruled out the possibility that a bullet had been fired from outside the Datsun. But the window's on the left side of the automobile had been down, and a motorcycles had pulled away from the "safe house" and headed up the highway immediately before them. Inside the Datsun, McCarthy, his .38 cocked in anticipation of hostile fire, had speculated on the mission of the motorcyclist. The sergeant testified that his elbow had been resting on the window frame when the "explosion" occurred. It was then that McCarthy's weapon had fired. Had McCarthy's weapon caused that explosion or had he fired it as a reflex response to another shot?

By saying that the wound could not have been caused by the .38 at close range, the pathologist ruled out answers to these and other questions. Under normal circumstances his testimony would have meant McCarthy could not have committed the crime. But Special Forces men were trained to defy normal circumstances. They were known for their ability to obtain and use small, secret. 25-caliber single-shot devices. So the jury believed that McCarthy had killed Jimmie with a secret .25-caliber weapon, and under that theory, the killing could not have been accidental.

They sentenced him to life and hard labor and recommended clemency. That was normal enough. What was unheard of was their refusal to order a forfeiture of his pay and allowances and his dismissal from the service.

I entered the case on June 10, 1968. It took the Army 229 days to prove me "nationally secure." After my clearance on February 25, 1969, I certified in writing that I had read the statutes which provide for "the willful or negligent divulging of classified information to unauthorized persons" and a "penalty of death or imprisonment for any term of years or for life." In a similar situation, In Muhammad Ali's case, I had refused to accept wiretap logs covered by a secrecy order. That also was an intuitive judgment and, in law as in life, "luck."

In Falls Church, Virginia, I was provided a "secure" secretary for dictation, typing, and clerical work. I couldn't work on certain aspects of the case in Atlanta, for the transcript and other documents couldn't leave the Falls Church office building. Later (on February 8, 1970) in an article in the Washington Post entitled TERMINATED AGENT MAY HAUNT U.S., Murray Marder would write: "[W]hile comparatively obscure, the McCarthy case carries a larger potential for international complications than the celebrated Green Berets case." McCarthy was locked up in the government's prison, but if Marder was right, the secrets McCarthy knew made the government his prisoner. In court papers I urged McCarthy be freed, for he had been deprived of his unqualified constitutional rights to an open and public trial.

Soon after the August 6, 1969 headline in the Atlanta Journal---BERET COLONEL, 7 OTHERS CHARGED IN VIET MURDER---I telephoned the disciplinary barracks. "John, if you haven't told me the truth, if you lied at the trial, if you've said anything up to now that wasn't true, it is time to recant."

I want to know every fact which a client reasonable thinks may have a bearing upon his case. From the beginning McCarthy maintain his innocence, and even if his story seemed irrational to some, he stuck by it---tenaciously. I would cross-examine and attempt to trip him up, and ask him every question I could think of. He remained unshaken and unshakable.

I explained that Special Forces Colonel Robert B. Rheault and the seven other men charged with murder in Vietnam had as much chance of coming to trial as did the CIA or Richard M. Nixon. The desire to cover up, to keep secrets---not from the Communists but from Americans---would guarantee the release of the Special Forces men. If McCarthy had lied at trial and to me, but now came out with the truth, we could tie his case to Rheault's, and the odds would be a hundred to one in favor of his release.

"I'll be *******ed!" came the response. "If my own lawyer won't believe me. I told the truth! I don't give a damn if a rot in here. I didn't kill that man!" When a convict serving a life sentence angers at the sight of a master key to his cell, it's time that he be believed.

On September 29, 1969, the army dismissed the charges against Rheault and company and blamed the cover-up on the CIA's refusal to allow its agents to testify at any trial. Two days later, in the New York Times, the lawyer for a Green Beret, Henry B. Rothblatt, said that Nixon made that decision.

In Washington, Stewart Davis conferred with Colonel Pierre A. Finck, chief of the Wound Ballistics Pathology Branch of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, and widely known as the physician who performed the John F. Kennedy autopsy. Finck told Davis that he was familiar with the McCarthy file and testimony, but he revealed nothing helpful. Neither did the army attorney who directed Davis to the right file, which, however, he could not let Davis see. But he placed the file on the nearby table and left Davis in the room, saying, "There's a Xerox machine down the hall and a sergeant in the next office."

Alone, Davis opened the folder. On top there was a memorandum from the prosecution's pathologist-witness to "Chief, Forensic Pathology Division, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology." "Because of the small size of the wound and the absence of grossly visible powder tattooing I originally testified....that the murder weapon was probably a .22 or .25 caliber weapon."The pathologist went on to write that he had been "mistaken about the weapon." (Date of Memorandum is September 8, 1968---Date of Discovery is March 20, 1970)

Based upon the trial transcript, McCarthy's testimony that he had a .38-caliber pistol, and the driver's description of the sound as deafening, that his ear were ringing, and that he experienced "a temporary loss of hearing", the pathologist had altered his scientific judgment. He wrote, "In conclusion I new think the victim was killed by a single shot from Captain McCarthy's revolver fired several inches away from the back of the neck."

So the accidental firing of the .38 could have killed Jimmie.

Finally, in the secret world of secret cases, we had begun to win. The report of the pathologist also mentioned correspondence with "the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding a bullet fragment removed from the nasal pharynx from the deceased." This metal was "enclosed in a plastic envelope attached to the FBI report."

When we obtained the report it read, "A tiny particle of quartz was stuck to the surface of the fragment." It also said, "No glass was found." Quartz comes from glass and glass can come from shattered windshields, so we wanted to examine the metal fragment. But the FBI and the army had managed to lose it in the registered mail.

In a Virginia office building, in a hearing open to the public, I argued for the right of public trial. Then the three officers on the Court of Military Review, accompanied by their security adviser, adjourned to a conference room in the bowels of the Pentagon. Outside, soldiers stood guard which I argued from the secret portion of the record.

On October 29, 1970, we won. Based upon the pathologist's altered testimony, the court unanimously ordered the convictions set aside. One judge went further. To him, McCarthy's "record in intelligence and intelligence-related operations, as well as the military skills associated therewith which he has developed," made it in defiance of "logic" that he would have murdered "the victim in the manner developed by the Government at trial and urged upon us during appellate argument." Terming McCarthy a "proven officer, thoroughly trained in intelligence operations, well-disciplined and sensitive to the ramifications of all his actions, not only with regard to the United States but to other political entities whose interests might be affected," that judge said the court should have forbidden a retrial. But that decision rested with Major General W.B. Latta of the army's Strategic Communications Command, under whom McCarthy was then serving.

On January 6, 1971, I met the general at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. He concurred in his staff judge advocates recommendation that a new trial was "not warranted." The charge was dismissed.

Months after John McCarthy honorably left the service, I received an urgent telephone call. He had applied for a job. He told me of the the county personnel officer who had received an FBI report on his status.

"I'm sitting in this man's office and the report at which he's looking says I should be locked in prison. Would you tell him I'm not an escapee or a convicted felon?" I did so, as I marveled at the efficiency and concern of a government which imprisoned together one man who termed its heroes killers, and a hero whom the government termed a killer, then ignored its own pathologists recantation, lost a metal bullet fragment transmitted in its registered mail, and failed to put into its computer the record of the one Green Beret it had certified innocent.

"My War With The CIA" by Norodom Sihanouk
and Wilfred Burchett Chapter 4 Page 61

had already instituted a witch-hunt against the left, and many young people had followed the example of the three deputies and fled Phnom Penh for the security of the jungle. The C IA was not slow to take advantage of the situation. They started a campaign of rumors and distributed false tracts in the name of the Khmers Rouges - tracts which I denounced at the time as lies. The armchair experts who accuse me of having turned to the right in 1967, should take into account the extremely tense and complex situation. For the first time, there seemed to be substantial evidence that our independence was being threatened from the left, a possibility I had always resisted admitting. As for the long arm of the C IA, there was a fascinating revelation by a C I A 'Green Beret', Captain John J. McCarthy, Jr, one of the accused in the case of the murder of Inchin Hai Lam, an alleged 'double agent' of Cambodian origin in the pay of the C IA. McCarthy resigned his commission in May I971, disgusted at what he had had to do - not to mention the way in which he had been treated by the US army for having obeyed C IA orders. He revealed at the time that he had headed a C IA team in an 'Operation Cherry', which involved leading a Khmer Serei unit deep into Cambodia. This much was revealed in the Norfolk Virginia Pilot on 25 May 1971 - Further information about the McCarthy case was unearthed by Richard A. Fineberg, whose report was published by Dispatch News Service International: John J. McCarthy, Jr, formerly a Captain with the U S Army's Fifth Special Forces and commanding officer of a top-secret Cambodian operation known as 'Operation Cherry', says Son Ngoc Thanh was a key figure in his 1968 court-martial. McCarthy was accused of killing a Cambodian interpreter, who was also a member of the Khmer Serei, a secret, right-wing rebel sect, headed by Thanh and reportedly financed by the C I A. The ex-Special Forces Officer was convicted of murder and served two years of a 20-year sentence before his conviction was overturned on appeal in 1970. McCarthy says that his attorneys requested Thanh's appearance. At the two-day trial at Long Binh,South Vietnam, in January, 1968, but the Army said it could not compel foreign nationals to testify. At that time Thanh was living in Vietnam, where he was a powerful figure among the Cambodian minority of that country. Thanh did not testify, but the trial record reveals that U S military officers met with members of the Khmer Serei - and possibly with Thanh himself - at a pagoda in Saigon shortly after the agent's death. At that meeting, the US paid an indemnity, reportedly 25,000 dollars, to the Khmer Serei for the death of their member. The transcript also indicates that Project Cherry was set up to conduct incursions into Cambodia from across the South Vietnam border. For this covert mission, the US hired Cambodian guides and interpreters, at least some of whom were members of the Khmer Serei. During the trial, McCarthy identified the Khmer Serei as an 'organization which in effect plans the political overthrow of the Cambodian government'. Although the heavily-censored unclassified version of the transcript makes no direct reference to Thanh, the record refers to a man named Tan Son Hai, who was identified by one member of the Cherry team as 'the leader or high priest of the Khmer Screi'. McCarthy told this reporter he believes that Thanh and Ton San Hai are 'one and the same person'. Prior to the trial, the Khmer Serei presented McCarthy with a gold medallion for his 'revolutionary act' on the assumption that he had killed the agent, whom the Khmer Serei believed to be a Communist-trained double agent. The citation accompanying the award was signed by (Son Ngoc) Thanh as 'leader of the Khmer Serei'. Excerpts from the unclassified part of the transcript which have come into my hands are most revealing. For instance, the testimony of Sgt Ben W. Hancock, a member of McCarthy's team, testifies under oath regarding a meeting he arranged between 'Tan Son Hai' and a Special Forces officer following the killing of the agent. This verbatim account is from page 138 of the trial proceedings: Hancock: Because Special Forces was involved in the ... (classified) he asked me if I would go to the pagoda to see if I could make an arrangement for him to meet with Tan Son Hai.

I totally agree...it is nothing but frontier justice with the goal of controlling the oil....after all, frontier justice had to have a reason for it's existence....

And now, in the light of day, comes the news (shame) that women arrested in Iraq and incarcerated in Abu Ghraib were forced to watch their children sodomized by Americans....letters smuggled out of Abu Ghraib beg for relatives to come to the prison and kill them for what they have been forced to witness....the frontier justice has run amok and now we are not only forced to deal with and discuss this disgusting mess, we must ask if the Military Intelligence officers (MI) and Military Police (MP) were actually who they portended to be or were they CIA simply posing as MI and MP? Oops, there goes the dreaded sources and methods again.

Now we have the peons facing court-martial and humiliation and unless attorney's worth their salt ask the direct questions to expose this sham, these young men and women will go down the tubes....victims of frontier justice.

Unfortunately, this pattern of behavior is not new. CIA posing as US military officers in Vietnam have been documented committing atrocities on civilians. Pattern of behavior (read sources and methods) is a favorite expression of attorney's speaking to jury's about a defendant's reputation. As horrible as this news is, it is going to blow back up the line to the Intelligence Community who ran the prisons in Iraq with approval of those at the highest authority....

It is no wonder that the International Criminal Court and the UN have voted NOT to extend the immunity from prosecution for war crimes for United States military forces.

Frontier justice in the modern world with all the lines of communication available is shown for what it is, nothing more than the arrogant display of brutal cowboy mentality forced upon us with disregard for the Nuremberg Code.

The Fourth Reich is ending in disgrace while hiding behind the facade of frontier justice.

I do believe it is a given that we are in Iraq because of Oil, and ONLY Oil. This flim flam about bringing democracy to the Cradle of Civilization is a crock of poopy.

The Brit's tried it in 1920-21, and failed miserably, the same way the French failed in Vietnam in the early '50's (and there was (is) oil off that coast, too) and we followed the "Street Without Joy" to a similar conclusion in 1972 making all the same mistakes along the way while saying, "Well, that was the French, so what do you expect?"

We have a few Iraqi's unhappy with us NOW, and in a short time, after they see the puppet show is not all it is supposed to be, we will have up-wards of 15 million Iraqi's very mad at us and twice that number in brother Muslims from every country in the mid-east that produces OIL, damn-it.

The states that produce OIL in the mid-east can not afford to have an example of "democracy" in their back yard. The dictators (Kings, etc) will not stand for it. Therefore, it is in their INTEREST to thwart the jamming of democracy down the throats of Iraqi who could care less about our non-believing way of life.

They know we are there for OIL and nothing else. The rest of the program is a sham, and shamefully so.

To AG Ashcroft


By John McCarthy, June 9, 2004

AG Ashcroft,

If you get around to reversing your stonewalling of Congress re the "torture memo" circulating throughout the media, it would also not be a bad idea to respond to the letters re high crimes and treason sent to you over two years ago by Larry J O'Daniel: These letters are contained in the URL's below.

http://www.geocities.com/larryjodaniel/21.html

http://www.geocities.com/larryjodaniel/22.html

http://www.geocities.com/larryjodaniel/23.html

Your lack of response to matters of treason is egregious and unconscionable. Who else but you has the authority to act and react to these most serious of felonies?

I demand to know why you have stonewalled our attempts to thwart the repetition of the WMD fiasco, nearly a repeat of the Intelligence Community's utter disregard for Presidential Directives issued during National Security Council meetings, during War Time!

The above URL contain once Top Secret documents declassified by the State Department in 2000, much to the chagrin of the CIA. Now we know why. These NSC documents have been sent to interested parties and it would be a farce and waste of time to attempt "reclassifying" these matters.

Ironically, CIA has responded to an FOIA request by saying these matters remain classified. That is a step in the right direction as for the previous thirty five years, CIA has denied ANY KNOWLEDGE of Project Cherry and related matters. It is quite apparent that the new minders of the corrupt files at CIA have not a clue as to their predecessors modus operandi.

The crime of treason must not be classified in an attempt to hide the very crime itself. If the excuse of protecting "sources and methods" is invoked, it should be noted that crimes against the nation must not be secreted and the perpetrators must be brought to justice.

National Security is not at stake here but National Embarrassment is. It is time to clean house.
It is high time you crawled out from under your umbrella of arrogance and deniability and DO YOUR JOB! By the way, you work for me and I want accountability or your resignation. To date, your conduct is reprehensible and if I was writing your evaluation it would read:

"This officer constantly fails to meet the low standards he sets for himself."

I expect and demand a response.

Truce B4 election = Assassination
Truce After election = Democracy


August 30, 2004

Look at history, truces and treaties are written and meant to be broken, especially when the opposition THINKS they will be welcomed into the fold of the current administration....otherwise, why have a truce? NOPE, truce = weakness and stupidity.

I would say the pain and suffering caused by the treason of members of our government begs not to be let go and fortunately, there is no statute of limitations on treason, nor conspiracy to obstruct murder in a capital murder case to cover up the treason.

Dev, Never let it go! To do so would give excuse to the malfeasance of the current phony war justified by lies of WMD and more. Just like the Intelligence Community screwed up the Vietnam war. Forget it and let it go? Not any time soon, BR. Asking to turn the other cheek and forgive and forget won't work for Viet vets or Iraq vets, once they know the truth and see the sham and propaganda that led them off to hell on earth.

Those who never served in Vietnam have the gall to say let it go? That puts you in the same shoe box with all the others who never went but want the issue dropped. How Sweet is that?

Why must we not have a truce in the discussion re Vietnam? BECAUSE, the Tonkin Gulf Resolution during the Vietnam War equals the WMD fiasco of the Iraq War! Both fabricated to justify the preemptive strikes against North Vietnam and Iraq!

Why is that so difficult to grasp? That is our Intelligence Community at work!

Reopen wounds? Hocky pucks! The wounds of treason will fester on until the perps are dealt with, them and their add-ons.

Bests,
John

August 31, 2004

Would you agree or disagree that the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and the War Powers Act resulting from the presentation of fabricated WMD were acts of treason on the part of the Intelligence Community?

It's not about Senator Kerry or President Bush. It is much bigger than those two. It is the means and manner by which this country has gone off to war with preemptive strikes against North Vietnam and Iraq, cranking up billions of dollars and placing our country on a wartime footing, keeping in mind that the earlier acts of treason were during a Democratic administration and the current one is under a republican administration. Treason sees no boundaries with respect to political parties!

Once again, it is not the festering wounds of battle scars and brain bruises that is driving this debate. It is the skulduggery of those bastards running our so called Intelligence Community or those manipulating that Community for their own goals, outside the Constitution.

What say you now?

Bests,
John

August 31, 2004

Thank you Red, now what should we do to un-pardon those rascals?

1. Call for impeachment re high crimes and treason?

2. Take a chance on our election process and see if the knowledgeable citizens throw them out of office?

3. Demand a recall election for all those who voted for the war powers act and STILL think it is was good idea even though the evidence for fabrication of the WMD as justification for a preemptive strike (aggressive war acts) is overwhelming and in violation of the Nuremberg International War Crimes Tribunal which the United States personally formulated as Crimes Against Humanity?

Time is running out and we must address these issues promptly because you won't see these questions in the mainstream media, CNN and CERTAINLY not FOX!!!

The dems should be screaming these issues to the pontification coming out of the RNC!

Or is this just politics and not about the Constitution of The United States?

Bests,
John

Swift Boat Vets Allegations

Hi Gal,

Seems pretty cut and dry to me. The accounts of the people on Kerry's boat have one collective version whereas the others who were not on Kerry's boat have a completely different account. So, you have eye witnesses and you have rumor mongers. Who are you going to believe?

It is also very clear the motivation for the dissenting interpretation results from the anti-war statements and medal tossing incident at the Pentagon, AFTER Kerry left the service.

If those in receipt of medals and awards were questioning their own viability with respect to the authenticity of combat accounts, they should have reported this to the appropriate command structure way back then. Medals are poor compensation for the trauma of wounds. Some deserved them, and some didn't. But you have to look at your own face when you shave....everyone knows exactly whether they deserve a citation. Cutting ones self shaving is not a qualification for the Purple Heart, but it happened. Fortunately, I was only wounded in my mind.

Personally, anyone who set foot in Vietnam has the right to say how they feel about the war. That goes for the guys in grave registration, helicopter pilots, boat drivers, trigger pullers, cooks, artillery pounders, tank drivers, and anyone else unfortunate enough to be sent into that crappola. But second guessing a combat action that you were not present for is a bit disingenuous, to say the least, and obviously politically motivated.

Re Cambodia. I wasn't with Kerry so I don't know if he was told to go into that country. I personally was directed to fly over Cambodia and take pictures of an installation in the Parrots Beak region. We were promptly shot out of the area. Beyond that, my duty as Case Officer for the Rogue CIA outfit that I had the misfortune of commanding consisted of maintaining the skills for assassination teams who were to be sent into Cambodia dressed as North Vietnamese to conduct "Black Terror", all this in violation of Presidential Directives issued during National Security Council meetings in 1966. We found the documents in 2000 when the State Department decided to declassify the documents, much to the chagrin of the CIA. Now we know why; treason in wartime.

So if the politicos wish to bring up Cambodia, I will have to say, "Bring it on!" Then we will see how fast the Intelligence Community crawls back under their propaganda rock....

Hope that clears things up and you may post this if you will.

Amazing that none of this came up before Kerry entered the Presidential Race. Also amazing that all the money for the Swift Boat putsch came from wealthy Texan's with close ties to El Presidente. Go figure!

How about signing my petition to empanel a Federal Grand Jury to Probe the CIA for treasonous acts? You might want to take the time to peruse the comments and message section of the Petition. Please pass it on!

Subject: question for you

Hi John, As a former Vietnam vet, I was wondering what you think of the swift boat vets' allegations regarding Kerry's service? The medals, trip to Cambodia, etc. I realize you may be too busy to respond, but if you get the chance, I 'd really be interested in your perspective. Hope you are well, Gal
