ABC News Nightline The Swift Boat Controversy: What They Saw on the River

John Kerry's service in Vietnam became a campaign issue when he was running for president in 2004. The group calling itself Swift Boat Veterans for Truth alleged that Kerry had distorted the truth about what happened during the war and questioned whether he deserved the medals he received. ABC News brings viewers accounts from eyewitnesses who have not spoken before: the Vietnamese who fought against him. ABC News went to Vietnam, to the coordinates taken from the U.S. military after-action report from Kerry's battle for which he won the Silver Star. And there ABC News found several people who had either witnessed the events of that day, or in some cases, had actually fought against the swift boats. Do their accounts favor one version or the other? Can these questions be definitively settled? You'll have to judge. Anchor: Ted Koppel Correspondent: John O'Neill Airdate: 10/14/2007
