11:48Now PlayingFifty years after the U.S. ground invasion of Vietnam began, we look back at the 1968 My Lai massacre, when American troops killed hundreds of civilians. Journalist Seymour Hersh broke the story of the massacre and coverup, winning a Pulitzer Prize for his work. But Hersh never actually went there he interviewed soldiers stateside. Fortyseven years later, he recently traveled to My Lai for the first time, which he documents in a new article for The New Yorker, "The Scene of the CrimeA Reporter's Journey to My Lai and the Secrets of the Past." Hersh joins us to discuss how he exposed the massacre nearly five decades ago and what it was like to visit My Lai for the first time.
