I don’t even know what to make of the
front page today. There’s a picture of a man being executed on the front
page of the newspaper. The South Vietnamese police chief is holding
a gun to a man’s head. The man is described as a Vietcong Terrorist. But how do
we know? Inside the paper, there’s a sequence of pictures of the man being
executed. The man flinches before the gun goes off. Then he is laying on the
ground with no blood.
Why on earth are we supporting these
people? Mrs. Stoutmiller let out a gasp when she saw it. Becca leaned in toward
Craig as he read it. How can something like this happen? Why are we letting
this happen?
Meanwhile, the intense fighting
continues. They say that it could continue for a few more days.
