I remember the media campaign stoking "world-wide outrage" following the publication of that Vietnam-era photo. I couldn't understand it, myself. But it was the Abu Ghraib of its time.
I read somewhere that the VC in the photo had just hand-grendaded a ARVN soldier's family killing his wife and kids.
Of course, that's a minor issue compared to the brutality and heavy-handedness of the South Vietnamese in shooting the scumbag. </Fonda-ism>
There should have been NO outrage of the execution of the north vietnamese SPY! Only the leftist radical communist in this country with the aid of KERRY, FONDA, CLARK, CLINTON et al brainwashed the majority of Americans that it is "evil" to kill anyone who is trying to murder you ... unless you are a Christian conservative, then you have no right to live according to the lawyer scumbags.
