As told to me by John McCarthy, a team leader in Cherry, and as posted originally on the web site www.copvcia.com: (I) McCarthy was the Case Officer in Saigon, of a CIA directed covert operation code named PROJECT CHERRY. The operational mission of CHERRY was a redundant, three pronged assassination team targeted against Prince NORODOM SIHANOUK, the head of state of Cambodia. http://salem-news.com/articles/september102011/trails-deceit-lo_.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september102011/trails-deceit-lo_.php Sat, 10 Sep 2011 02:12:00 PDT The world is ever evolving, but the highly unnatural militant direction man has chosen is wrong so often that there are few examples of it being right. The greed of man that has led to so much contamination and desecration of Mother Earth is not always monetary; sometimes it is based on jealousy, sometimes it is racism, sometimes it is religion, sometimes it is a combination of all of these and more. http://salem-news.com/articles/july062011/cultural-revolution.php http://salem-news.com/articles/july062011/cultural-revolution.php Wed, 06 Jul 2011 12:18:00 PDT I called up Tim Page, the war photographer famed for Requiem and other books on Vietnam. I went to his home page and got his number in the contact section. Then I went on Skype and called him. The man on the end of the line was Tim Page. http://salem-news.com/articles/april242011/vanishing-flynn-tb.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april242011/vanishing-flynn-tb.php Sun, 24 Apr 2011 16:58:00 PDT My relationship with Page began in Saigon or, as the North Vietnamese like to call it, Ho Chi Minh City, a name which has never quite stuck with the locals who still prefer to use the traditional name. Page refers to the city in its rapidly developing form as a “syphilitic whore”. http://salem-news.com/articles/november152010/page-history-dm.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november152010/page-history-dm.php Mon, 15 Nov 2010 23:39:00 PST The history between Page and me goes deeper then the black and white shots fired in the press. Deeper than both of us decided to make public during the battle. Arguably, Page rates as the third-greatest to ever pick up a camera and to become a combat photographer, perhaps behind Larry Burrows and Robert Capa. Page is a man who understands the meaning of survival more than most human beings alive today or those of generations past. http://salem-news.com/articles/november152010/macmillan-page-dm.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november152010/macmillan-page-dm.php Mon, 15 Nov 2010 08:15:00 PST In March, 2010, sensational headlines broke around the world: "Son of Swashbuckling Errol Flynn's remains found."

You would be fair to think I've been out in the sun a little too long. This might be my most offbeat tribute ever. 'Uncle Ho', Hussein and bin Laden; all men who ended up on America's most hated list before their time was through, but the title is true to form and is really unfortunate, and uncomfortable. Each was an ally for US missions and interests overseas. http://salem-news.com/articles/august012010/american-heroes-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/august012010/american-heroes-tk.php Sun, 01 Aug 2010 05:00:00 PDT The man who set out to locate the remains of famed Vietnam War Photojournalist Sean Flynn, son of the acclaimed actor Errol Flynn, says the U.S. government is not cooperating with the Flynn family or his team, in helping properly identify the remains.

More than simply an inquiry into Cambodias experience, however, ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE is a profound meditation on the nature of good and evil, shedding light on the capacity of some people to do terrible things and for others to forgive them. http://salem-news.com/articles/july262010/enemies-people.php http://salem-news.com/articles/july262010/enemies-people.php Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:29:00 PDT Swirling controversy, the love of a family, epic mystery, barbaric communism: these diverse conditions only begin to set the stage for the story of Sean Flynn, a memorable actor-turned-combat photojournalist who disappeared during the invasion of Cambodia, on 6 April 1970.
