In some areas where the population was believed to support the NLF strongly, entire provinces were subjected to campaigns of destruction and mass killing. One such province was Quang Ngai, where by late 1967, 70% of the villages had been destroyed. This was before Tet; after Tet, the killing was itensified. There is evidence that the CIA, via Phoenix, perpetrated the My Lai massacre and also concealed it, that the killing in My Lai was part and parcel of the Phoenix program.
