Vietnamese villager Bui Thi Loom recalls seven American soldiers entering her Mekong Delta village at age 12 and firing, killing 16 people. Bob Kerrey and several ex-SEALs deny civilians were killed, while a NYT/CBS project cites a witness describing a massacre. Kerrey says the area was a free-fire zone with Viet Cong targets.
