Past is prologue

One of the most important untold stories of the Vietnam War was the Phoenix Program.

The few that have heard of it think that is was an assassination program whereby the US killed civilian Vietcong leaders "extra-judicially."

But in fact, it was much more than that.

It involved widespread surveillance of the population without warrant, arrest and imprisonment without charges, and torture. Sound familiar?

It should.

The roots of Homeland Security in the Vietnam War's Phoenix Program...

I thought we'd follow the series on
the US role in the Mexican Drug War
with some of Douglas Valentine's
scholarship on the Phoenix Program.

What was the Phoenix Program?

It involved widespread surveillance
of the population without warrant,
arrest and imprisonment without
charges, and torture. Sound familiar?

It should.
