Hitchens on Kerry

[Michael Pugliese]

Citing, Zalin Grant in TNR, Dec. 20-27, 1969. (My Lai)
" 'Everyone is to blame. What do you
expect in a free fire zone war?' Atrocities , he said, were endemic to the
situation." Footnote 44, Chapter 6, "Apocalypse Then: American Intellectuals
and the Vietnam War, 1954-1975, "
by Robert Tomes, NYU Press, 1998. Pretty arguable intellectual history,
Tomes is not coming from the left, radical or liberal-left, but, a useful
read for the extensive reading he did in all the major left, right and
center rags from Encounter to Monthly Review.
