SAIGON EXECUTION

February 14th 2009 22:58
Eddie Adams' Pulitzer Prize-winning photo of the execution of a Vietcong. The shooter was later identified as Lt. Colonel Nguyen Ngoc Loan, police chief of South Vietnam. The stories surrounding the victim in Eddie Adams' execution photo differed. Lt. Colonel Loan had said that the man had killed many South Vietnamese and even Americans. Vietnamese photographers said that he was a traitor, working for both sides - the Vietcong and the South Vietnamese police. Others said he was a small-time Vietcong who had put on a fresh shirt hoping to slip away.
