My Lai probe shows minimal follow up by Col Henderson
Army court hears that Col Oran Henderson, charged with dereliction for his My Lai inquiry, spoke briefly with Cowan and six others and did little to pursue evidence. Prosecution argues ample information existed to justify investigation. Henderson contends memories faded and losses of sight from 1500 feet hindered observation. Tape transcripts reveal limited enemy resistance.
