This newspaper clipping documents the 1998 controversy sparked by a CNN/Time 'NewsStand' report alleging U.S. forces used nerve gas during Operation Tailwind, the 1970 MACV-SOG raid into Laos. Special Forces veterans immediately disputed the claims, and the report was later retracted after an independent review led by attorney Floyd Abrams found it unsupported by the evidence — a controversy that deeply affected the men who served on the mission.
