Yank Tells Of Killing Prisoners In Vietnam War
Lt. Col. Anthony B. Herbert, an American officer, told Thames Television that his superiors condoned torturing and killing prisoners in Vietnam. He described a Feb 14 1969 incident in which Vietnamese police executed prisoners after he handed them 15 to 17 Viet Cong suspects, including a woman and a child, while an American lieutenant led the atrocity. He said he faced Army retaliation and was pressured to drop his charges.
