I heard the SBVT were completely discredited last night

[Zuni]

Nightline apparently did a great job of exposing their efforts to smear Kerry by going all the way to Vietnam and interviewing the VC guerillas and villagers who were there that day.

7. Koppel has the patience of a saint

The SBL was completely out ofcontrol and acting like a fool. I would have cut his mike long ago, but Koppel DID call him on it, as the SBL kept saying "You've been had, Ted", insinuating peasants in SVietnam were lying to protect John Kerry. Absolutely ludicrous and outrageous. It was great to watch!

8. They were completely discredited 30 YEARS AGO

SAME BUNCH now as was then and SAME LIES now as was then.

30 years ago they were the laughingstock of this country and kicked back under their rocks.

SAME OLD LIES, SAME OLD MEN, SAME OLD TOTAL BULLSHIT.

9. An observation about that unkown vet who visited previously

Nightline reported that an unkown vet with a cameraman visited the village six months ago and told one of the villager that the man running for president didn't deserve his medals.

Nightline also observed that it was difficult for their producer to get a visa to enter the country with a camera. The Vietnamese government must have issued a visa to that vet six months ago. I wonder how hard it would be to find out who it was.
