Re: Germ war thing again

Interesting point, Mike:

Your book quotes the CIA (and Big Mac's) version of Gen. Sams' adventure.  I
believe Lt. Clark, who commanded the CIA op, has stated that Sams landed on
an island  -- not on the mainland as reported by the CIA.  The CIA team
killed some folks and brought their bodies for Sams to examine.

If my memory serves me right, one of the Korean participants wrote about
this incident and his account agrees with Clark's.  My understanding is that
Sams wanted to go ashore but he was overruled by the local commander (Lt.
Clark?).

I suppose Gen. Sams and the CIA did their best to counter the Communist germ
agits.

YSK!

    You rascal!  Check out pps. 169-171, 195, Devil's Shadow, and see how
long the communist claim of germ warfare in 1951 stood up after MacArthur
sent a U.S. Army Brigadier General/Doctor behind communist lines to check
out
their claims of germ warfare.
