Kindly don't get too excited at this kind of over the hill Marxist museum crap. There was a Phoenix program...and compared to what Castro has going on every day it is 3.2 beer. And compared to the VC village destabilization program it was like Disneyland in comparative toxicity. And it was a war, now, wasn't it? And the VC were killing civilians like there was no tomorrow in that war. So destabilizing the VC led to their final destruction in Tet in 68. It has NOTHING to do with the Homeland Security laws today. Just a nice old Red-diaper delusion.... that this silly ass clearly has fallen for. Phoenix had its excesses...so did the Clinton Administration with Waco and Ruby Ridge.... But the idea there is some consistent plot is lunatic. You shouldn't be putting this hysterical nonsense out without context Xin loi Tom Thomas H.

This is just rancid red ranting left over from the last century. One might as well be "shocked, shocked..." at the activities of the OSS in WWII. Of course the reason the Phoenix program has your last two correspondents' knickers all twisted is that it was directed at THEIR heroes... the Communists who murdered a mere 100 million people in the last century, according to The Black Book published in France last year, and made the Nazis look like small time hoods. I really think you should post some notice of this rather than run a one-sided account of the sameold sameold charges we have heard hundreds of times on every occasion the United States exercised power.
