Newspaper Clipping: "Operation Tailwind" Nerve Gas Controversy Coverage (CNN NewsStand/Time Retraction Era)
A period newspaper clipping documents the controversy surrounding CNN's 1998 "NewsStand" report and companion Time magazine article, which alleged that U.S. forces used lethal sarin nerve gas during the classified Operation Tailwind in Laos. Former SOG veterans disputed the claim, and both CNN and Time later retracted the story after further investigation found no evidence to support it. Project: 219318
