Burns, Episodes 4 and 5 - CIA, what CIA? Jasons, what Jasons?
Submitted by arendt on Fri, 09/22/2017 - 12:27pmThese two episodes are heavy on personal reminiscences of soldiers, very light on policy. Once again, not a word is spoken about the CIA. Let's dive in:
1. The Phoenix Program (also, see ADDENDUM)
We have pictures of elections in South Vietnam, but zero mention of the beginning of the infamous Phoenix Program, which began in 1967, in the time frame of these two episodes.
