The talk we had was under CHR so perhaps I said too much.
As for the Vietnam girl, she is Kim Phúc (now living in Canada I believe). She was napalmed by the South Vietnamese on the 8th June 1972 during an attack on North Vietnamese forces in Trang Bang. If you care to tell her she wasn't, be my guest. To my knowledge the only person who has ever doubted the veracity of the picture was Richard Nixon, so you're in good company.
It is not the veracity of the picture but of the story that I was refering to. The image, as far as I can check, is unvarnished. What varied was the way it was cropped and presented.
