Twain discusses Phoenix Project

TWAIN: ---- " You were a Capt in Vietnam in charge of the Phoenix Project in the central highlands of Vietnam ? "

EARLEY: ---- " That’s correct "

TWAIN: ---- " The Phoenix Project’s goal was to disable the Vietnamese civilians who supported the Viet Cong ? "

EARLEY: ---- " I can’t discuss these matters for security purposes "

 

Twain moves on to today’s attack in Gaza

TWAIN: ---- " Israel says it’s goal and tactics are similar to the Phoenix Project "

EARLEY: ---- " I told you I can’t discuss Vietnam but we never did anything similar to the Israelites"

TWAIN: ----- " Wasn’t the Phoenix project about assassinating Viet Cong insurgents ?

EARLEY: ---- " Get your head out of your *#* !   Israel has no insurgents and Hamas is probably a Mossad front. We never put snipers in buildings to shoot 8 yr old children. Phoenix never brought bulldozers in a village and buried civilians. The IDF would bring in a tank and use Flechette shells on a Palestinian market maiming and killing 20 people.

You can’t compare Israel to any civilized state. "

 

Twain moves on to Grahaib prison scandal

TWAIN: ----- " Any views on Iraq ? "

EARLEY: ---- " From what I have read there were 37 dual nationality Israelis hired as interrogators. These people were supplied by two American companies with close Israeli ties. We can’t continue letting Israel guide our state policy.

TWAIN: --- " Thanks for the interview "
