There is actually a website that really says that Powell did in fact give the
order, as confirmed by an "unnamed general". It that doesn't raise the red
flag what does?

I know this because a while back Anthony Marsh played the baby killer card over
in the jfk group and of course he ran to My Lai as they all seem to do. Nigel
Brooks was tearing Marsh a new one about My Lai when Marsh laid this
"reference" on us. And sure nuff, that is what the site says.

Nigel pointed out that any half assed investigator would know that Powell was
in the U.S. going to the Command and General Staff (I think) school at the time
of My Lai and couldn't have possibly given the order. I doubt that this fact
did any good to change any of these fool's minds.

But it confirmed my suspicions that you can find any thing on the web.
