Now I really won't be able to sleep nights. Imagine if CNN produced a special on the lying which put us into "The Iraq" or the fact that, about 13 shots were fired from a gun which held 9 at most when RFK was assassinated. Or how the Gulf if Tonkin incident the second night never occurred and why they named a ship after the gentleman who was outraged that the lie was perpetrated to start a war. This man Stockdale wound up as a POW, a war hero, and a nominee for VP with Perot. An exceedingly complex story with more twists than Breaking Bad. These could use 90 minutes but I guarantee you you'll never see these on air.
