"Order preceded Kent killings, 2 say

Two forensic audio experts say they believe a recording reveals that someone gave an order to National Guard troops to prepare to fire on students during a deadly Vietnam War protest at Kent State University in 1970. The recording was enhanced and evaluated by the audio experts, Stuart Allen and Tom Owen, at the request of The Plain Dealer newspaper. Both concluded that they hear someone shout, “Guard!’’ Seconds later, a voice yells, “All right, prepare to fire!’’ (AP)."

We can NEVER CRITICIZE ANYONE EVER AGAIN, America!
