| Vietnam Condemns American Treatment of Prisoners; Cites Kerry’s Testimony |
| 2004-06-26 |
| Hat tip: Instapundit. EFL A Republican lawmaker says Sen. John F. Kerry should apologize for his 1971 testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The Vietnamese government is now using Kerry’s 1971 comments to question America’s treatment of Iraqi prisoners. Quelle surprise. In a one-minute speech on the House floor Wednesday, Rep. Joe Pitts (R-Penn.) noted that the Vietnamese government has weighed in on the Iraqi prison scandal. "But the official communist Vietnamese news agency isn’t citing the Geneva Convention or the U.N.," Pitts said. "It’s citing testimony given by John Kerry in 1971... And now his misleading, inaccurate, hateful words are being used by a government with an atrocious human rights record against this country. Senator Kerry should apologize once and for all to our troops and to our nation...And he should disavow these statements as false before more nations decide to rely on his erroneous testimony from 1971." Don’t hold your breath, Congressman. John Kerry - |

| #7 FYI - For those who may not know Kerry's testimony before congress in 71 was based on the 'Winter Soldier Investigation' in which so-called 'vets' testified to commiting or witnessing war crimes while in Vietnan during the war. 'Vietnam Vetrans Against the War' ( an anti-war organization of which Kerry and Hanoi Jane (Fonda) were leaders) staged the event. Kerry himself siad, during his testimony, that he, himself, engaged in such activities. I say so-called 'vets' because, after further investigation of 'Winter Soldier' it was found that most of the 'vets' had either never been to vietnam, never been close to the areas they claim, or were simply imposters claiming they were someone they were not. In short 'Winter Soldier' was a staged fraudulant event -- and John Kerry was one of the organizers and leaders of the fraud. I don't know if he knew it was a fraud at the time (seems like me *must* have known....). Read more at: www.wintersoldier.com |

| #4 The Vietnamese government is now using Kerry’s 1971 comments to question America’s treatment of Iraqi prisoners. Pot. Kettle. Black. Would anyone in Hanoi be interested in what Sen. McCain and his fellow former captives have to say about their "questions"? |
