"The Phoenix Program"
This book is written by Douglas Valentine first published in the early nineties. A crucial study of an enormous CIA covert program that had taken place in South Vietnam, the book details a terror program that had aimed to combine the forces of the police, military and intelligence to pacify the South Vietnamese population while supporting the American-backed regime. All in the name of fighting terror (Now where have we heard THAT one before?).Miller goes on to say, “The government uses the danger of terrorism to justify all kind of horrible infringements on our constitutional rights, so that it’s now okay to assassinate Americans with drones, it now okay to subject Americans to indefinite detention by the military. All of this was first put in place by the CIA in the Phoenix program, which accounts for the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians in South Vietnam who had been tortured and assassinated”. If there was any belief that the government’s intention had ever been noble in Vietnam, this book should be laid to rest….. Together with the phony belief that our freedoms have to be protected by sacrificing them. It has all been done before, and this is why nobody remembers it."
