Laird linked to secret B52 raids in Cambodia memo
A top secret memo released to Congress shows Melvin Laird approved an elaborate plan to mask B 52 raids on Cambodian sanctuaries as South Vietnamese strikes. From March 1969 to April 1970 the actions were timed to preserve neutrality claims, with records showing Cambodia missions as Vietnam ones. The Army Gen Farle Wheeler memo initiated the plan, while civilian officials kept separate timing data to hide actual targets.
