NGUYEN CAO KY is a former President of a once Free South Vietnam in 1965 and a once leading proponent of Freedom for Vietnam during the War and after.
News reports now say that NGUYEN CAO KY may be moving back soon to Comunist Vietnam, before it is Free once more.

Ky is not the only Viet Khieu (expat) to have returned to Vietnam, or to be commuting back and forth. Many others have also be reinvesting and/or creating business, particularly in the south, which even today, remains far more entrepreneurial than the north.
Frankly, I've been encouraged by this as I believe that younger, though still corrupt, northern leadership has seen the writing on the ecomic wall, and knows there is no going back at this point to, for example, the disasterous land reform programs of the 1980's which displaced millions, and in which thousands starved.
I believe that continued engagement with Vietnam will continue to yield dividends for its people, predominantly under thirty (think also, Iran), and that the government there is scarred to death of being Islamized.
Our staying the course in the current war as well, may ultimately go a long way toward, and continue as a function of continued economic liberalization and freedom there by which we may well have ultimately won the Vietnam war.

...In March 2003 the City of Garden Grove became the 2nd City in our Nation's History to adopt the Free Flag of Vietnam as the officially recognized Flag representing their Vietnamese-American Communities at their own funtions.
...This is now sweeping America, invalidating the Communist Flag of Communist Vietnam.
'GARDEN GROVE votes Free South Vietnam Flag -IN-, who's next?

Nguyen Cao Ky repeatedly sought to undermine President Thieu, who, it can be argued, under the circumstances he had to work in, was a better president than LBJ.

Not exactly sure what this post is trying to accomplish. Cao Ky has been back in VN for about a month so far. Ky's return has been widely covered both before and during his trip back. His every move and action there has been watched like a hawk; both by the communists and by those who would like to report back to the USA with their own brand of stories.
His move back there has been widely covered in both the Nguoi Viet Press and the Orange County Register newspapers. His few comments have been things along the line of..."...the future of Viet Nam is in the hands of the youth.".."...all must cooperate to rebuild Viet Nam to face the future..." These kinds of comments for press consumption.
He has made no secret of his actions there. His daughter is with him, she is a lawyer in Cali and a wife is also with him there. Not sure how long either of them will stay there in VN.
Most American are completely unfamiliar with how the rumor mill works in the Vietnamese community. Ky's departure creates a vaccancy in the higher levels of the American Vietnamese hierarchy. This must be filled. So now...the battle to fill this vaccuum has begun.
Its politics, plain and simple. Bala belu...Belu bala...the games go on. No need for false outrage...its beyond our domain....lol.

Brigadier General Le Van Tu Who is this guy?
And what's his beef?
So big deal, Ky wants to go back to his homeland and check things out.
That makes him a "filthy traitor"?
Methinks there's more to the story here - like maybe politics in the California Vietnamese community, eh?

Deep down in their hearts, all Marxists know that Communism is just a bunch of sophistic crap.

It does not surprise me when Nguyen Cao Ky tried to make a deal with the Communist.
The only legitimate leader for the Vietnamese people that is not corrupt is Prince Nguyen Phuc Buu Chanh of Vietnam, that has been living in Exile in the United States since 1975 and he was awarded the Republican Senatorial Medal of Freedom.
