John O'Neill, the Vietnam veteran who took on John Kerry in the 1971 debate on American "war crimes" that was recently rebroadcast on C-SPAN, will be interviewed by Wolf Blitzer on CNN this evening. O'Neill, who commanded a Swift boat in the same division as Kerry -- though for considerably longer -- more than held his own against Kerry during a 90-minute special broadcast of the Dick Cavett Show. Now he is challenging Senator Kerry to continue the debate they began 33 years ago, in an effort to clear the names of the Vietnam veterans Kerry once accused of war crimes "committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command."

John will also be interviewing with MSNBC and the Los Angeles Times in the near future, as he works to counter the poisonous image of Vietnam veterans that was created by John Kerry, Jane Fonda, the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and the other American friends of Hanoi.

I am very happy to hear this - he did a very good job on the Dick Cavitt show that reran here not too long ago and I was thinking as I watched him that he needs to come out and stand strong! Somehow I wouldn't be surprised if he had received a call from the Bush administration...

OMG --I'm going to have to watch CNN, and I hate CNN.

I'm glad this is going to be on CNN rather than FOX, because the demrats won't be able to say that it's a Non-fair and balanced 'Fox spin'.

Do you have a source for this? There's no mention that I can see on the link.

As far as the L.A. Times, he'd damn well better be sure he tape records the entire session.

I don't read it that way. There are quite a few Vietnam vets who see Kerry's candidacy as giving them one last chance to set the record straight, and that's where I think John O'Neill is coming from.

CNN hasn't posted it yet, but the information comes directly from John O'Neill.
