Interesting article - I never knew about project GAMMA, thanks! Paxse (talk) 09:55, 2 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've removed the following section as unsubstantiated. None of my research has turned up anything like this:

Note: Project Gamma, B-57, was a Military Intelligence effort posing as Special Forces to hide their association with operational control by CIA at the US Embassy in Saigon. The USARV Command in Vietnam DID NOT have the authority for directing cross border operations into Cambodia using Khmer Serei forces during the time in question. On the contrary, LBJ had issued presidential directives to the National Security Council that forbade support for any Khmer Serei activities including the assassination of the Prince, now King, Norodom Sihanouk. LBJ directed that letters to this effect be hand carried to the President of South Vietnam, the King of Thailand and Sihanouk himself. This directive was issued in June, 1966. McCarthy was assigned to Project Cherry as Case Officer in September 1967, unwittingly part of the treachery of the NSC's blatant disregard for LBJ's directives. That is why the Pentagon has not issued unit history on Project Gamma, B-57. That is why LBJ announced in March, 1968, that he "...would not seek nor accept my parties nomination for a second term as your president". LBJ had discovered the treachery of his closest advisers.

If anyone finds sources for it, please add it back in. Cerebellum (talk) 20:10, 13 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

The source for most or all of this material is John J. McCarthy Jr., one on the persons charged in the case. His very interesting story with links to documents is here http://johnmccarthy90066.tripod.com/id15.html.
Some more government files on B-57 are here: http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?Location=U2&doc=GetTRDoc.pdf&AD=AD0392458
Project Gamma was an assassination project against the Cambodian prince. The intelligence gathered was 24 hour surveillance of the prince so that he could be assassinated if the order was given.
There are also allegations of poison gas, I'll be back to this pageJohnvr4 (talk) 14:22, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Wade Ishimoto

In Episode 317 of the "Team House" podcast founding member of Delta Wade Ishimoto talks about B-57, the killing, and subsequent trial around the 20 minute mark. He was in 5th group at the time and was involved with the trial although he was not charged. I don't know if that is considered credible or how to cite it if it is.
