At the time I went to North Vietnam... the communiques which were being issued, by Washington in particular... about the American bombing raids on the north... gave the impression, although they did not say so specifically... that we were not killing civilians... in any substantial numbers, at least... in the course of our very heavy bombing offensive.
Cando fun a Vietnam do Norte os comunicados que se publicaban por Washington falando polo miúdo das incursións do bombardeo americano no norte facían crer, aínda que non o especificaran exactamente, que non matabamos civís ou que o seu número non era importante, polo menos no período máis intenso da nosa ofensiva de bombardeos.
