Re: New Chomsky Interview: \"U.S. Is A Leading Terrorist Stat
Okay, I stand corrected. I worded things poorly. The CIA was the promulgating agency for Phoenix and it's offspring. The majority of the actual work was conducted by US Army Special Forces seconded to the program or physically reassigned. In addition the use of "indigenous assets" was emphasized to provide the necessary deniability. Because of its complexity, Phoenix became subject to an alarming amount of abuse for personal gain. Regardless, the basic concept was valid and I still think, essential.
Now I've got to ask. How was My Lai in any way connected to Phoeinx?
