Nixon got the message. While the Joint Chiefs, backing their general in Viet Nam, still urged that the trials be held, Nixon sent Resor to the rostrum to kill the charges and set the Berets free. The claim that the CIA would not allow its agents to testify was only a pretext-and a transparently clumsy one at that-for calling the whole thing...
Regardless of who was right, the Berets were ordered prosecuted by the Army's General Abrams, who was incensed at being lied to by the Berets.
