Printed News Article Page with Photograph of Sgt. 1st Class Denver Minton, 'Tailwind' Lawsuit Coverage

A printed news article, part of the Gene McCarley Collection, documenting the legal aftermath of CNN and Time's retracted 1998 'Valley of Death' broadcast about Operation Tailwind. The article includes a wartime photograph of Sgt. 1st Class Denver Minton, one of the Special Forces veterans who sued the network for defamation after the unsubstantiated nerve-gas allegations were withdrawn. This episode remains a notable case study in journalism and media accountability history. Project: 219467
