Paul Rigby Wrote:Dick Starnes, the Scripps-Howard journalist responsible for the startling piece to which Krock took umbrage, owed some parts of his despatch to fellow American journalists, most of whom had read CIA Financing Planned Coup D'Etat, The Times of Vietnam, 2 September 1963. The latter's a remarkable piece in and of itself, and thus one assiduously ignored by historians ever since. The CIA wrecked the Times of Vietnam printing press shortly thereafter, prompting a reprint a week later. As Hanoi had copies of the original, the only people being kept in the dark by the Agency's activities were, as ever, the American people. Plus ca change.
Is the article about Diem or Kennedy?
Either way, I'd like to read it, but the link, at least now, isn't working. Searching the bibcite produces a few interesting references, but not the actual piece. Can you double check or fix the url?
