ABC Nightline interviews Vietnamese witnesses to John Kerry's swift boat actions

Ted Koppel and his Nightline crew visited areas along the Bay Hap river in Vietnam to interview people who might have witnessed various US actions along the river. Many of the interviewees remembered events that have been related by John Kerry -- including his medal-winning actions that came under question by the "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" organization.

The interviews revealed that Kerry's recollections and after-action reports were accurate to the events that actually occurred. Only one interviewee had ever heard of John Kerry. Apparently, when Ted Koppel confronted the leader of the "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth", John O'Neill, with the results of his interviews, Mr. O'Neill had no comment and reacted very poorly to the news.
