In June 1998, CNN and Time magazine broadcast a report alleging that U.S. forces used nerve gas during Operation Tailwind, a 1970 covert MACV-SOG mission into Laos. After the allegations could not be substantiated, CNN publicly retracted the story. This editorial cartoon by Chuck Asay, published in The Gazette days after the retraction, satirized the network's handling of the controversy - a reminder of the intense scrutiny and debate surrounding Operation Tailwind's legacy even decades after the war.
