 The allegations about editing were not borne out by the evidence and the ultimate questions at trial became whether the allegations against Westmoreland were true and whether CBS was entitled to believe the high-ranking military officers who made those allegations in their interviews and stuck by them at trial.CBS defended the documentary as true and called the military officers in question as witnesses at trial.They testified both at deposition and at trial that their criticisms of Westmoreland had been fairly represented in the documentary and they stood by them.
