Subject: RE: Has anyone the courage now?
Yes, CNN withdrew the story about gassing the deserters, but its producers still stand by it, had put a couple of years into getting documentation for it, collecting interviews. It's the same thing as Gary Webb's revelations about crack in L.A.--his paper, the San Jose Mercury News, stopped his series after a couple of installments and after the New York Times and Washington Post dismissed it (without disputing any of Webb's documentation), but recently the Times has been treating it with much more respect. I suspect we have not heard the last about the sarin, either, and I know that what has surfaced regarding it is much more worthy of the expense of a special prosecutor than is Clinton's zipper problem.
