WorldNetDaily broke the international story of the betrayal of Laos' Hmong tribesmen, recruited as CIA Special Forces soldiers to fight side-by-side with Americans during the Vietnam war. The reports showed how the Hmong have been persecuted not only by the governments of Laos and Vietnam, but also betrayed by the United States government and the United Nations.
WorldNetDaily was first to provide national exposure to the story of the homosexual rape-murder of 13-year-old Jesse Dirkhising. Subsequently, the Associated Press acknowledged its error in failing to cover the gruesome Arkansas case.
