John Kerry Gained Fame On The Shoulders Of Frauds (Bogus Vietnam Veterans)

John Kerry seems to have had a way of eluding the bad odor that clings to his old associates. On "Meet the Press" in 1971, he appeared with VVAW member Al Hubbard, a veteran who was exposed around this time for lying about his rank and combat experience (he had seen no combat). While this confirmed suspicions about the dubious identities of many of the winter soldiers, it didn't keep Kerry from becoming famous. The young politician was able to have his cake and eat it, too, becoming the establishment, patriotic face of a radical, anti-patriotic movement. Quite a trick, really.

Frank Dux: He charged many recognizable Vietnam vets with using techniques bordering on war crimes. Dux was a fraud and non Vietnam Veteran

I don't see in your link where the KGB funded Mark Lane. I see it alleging that the KGB planted a story in European papers that US Atty. Jim Garrison used to bolster an existing case and that Mark Lane seized upon from there.
