Based in part on the pattern of death and destruction which our military practices have brought to other areas of Indochina. there can be little doubt that civilians have been caught in the crunch of the airwar. It is naive of the administration to suggest they can cover up the suffering and death of civilians in North Vietnam. Sooner or later the full truth will come outas it did after the spokesmen for the administration denied that the forced relocation of villagers was among our military practices. that villages in Laos were being bombed. that a serious refugee problem existed in Cambodia. that bombing was an important cause in creating war victims throughout Indochina. It is easy for the President to blame all the civilian suffering in Indochina on.the other sideas he did again In his press conference just a week ago: But commonsense alone tells us that we are also part of the bloodbath. So does the record of our involvement in Indochina.
