WTF??

I just heard something shocking, albeit not entirely surprising.

My's Dad was singing war songs last night and telling some stories. He said that during the war there were students and academic types in the South that were trying to persuade public opinion to stop the war and send the Americans home.

Now, that's all fine and good, but these people were profiled and summoned to American war offices under the pretext that they would be interviewed for a job. Each person was interviewed and then taken into another room and secretly killed. They strangled them quietly so as to not alert the men still waiting for their "interviews" outside.

Now, I can't think of a reason My's Dad would lie about this. He doesn't have a beef with Americans. He also said he knew people firsthand that went to these things and never came back.

So assuming he isn't lying....did this ACTUALLY HAPPEN??
