Found this by googling Lewy..

In his book, America in Vietnam, author Guenter Lewy noted a subsequent inquiry by the Naval Investigative Service that found that many of the veterans who spoke in Detroit refused to be interviewed even when offered immunity, and some who reported the most grisly atrocities were fake witnesses who had used the names of real veterans.

In an interview, Lewy termed the Winter Soldier project "completely unreliable and untrustworthy" and doubts that Vietnam War atrocities were officially condoned or as widespread as the Detroit testimony indicated.

Lewy said he does not recall if he saw a copy of the naval investigative report or was briefed on its contents. "I'm quite confident the information is authentic," he said. Paul O'Donnell, a spokesman for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, said officials were searching for a copy of the report

Someone needs to ask Kerry who hired the fake vets who gave testimony...

My guess would be Hanoi Jane....I remember reading that she took film roles just to support this anti-war movement.

SOmebody need to ask Kerry when he is going to apologise for his contribution to the Vietnam Vet sterotype as drug crazed, baby killing, rapist nutjobs.

Having said that, the article was pretty damn good reporting of the facts.

I don't think that Kerry was even at or had anything to do with the Winter Soldier Meetings. He repeated selected unverified hearsay testimony from those meetings slandering the United States of America for selfish personal advantage and without regard as to it's consequences to the welfare of our troops and POWs in Viet Nam.

I am firmly convinced that many of the names on the Wall are a direct consequence of actions of Kerry, Fonda, Clark and their ilk.

Kerry has become the latest in a line of office seekers to "Wave the Bloody Shirt" where any questions as to his actions concerning anything remotely considerate military/security can be answered by I served, was decorated and wounded and since Bush didn't he is not qualified to question me.

I can already tell you his answer:

"How DARE you question my service in Vietnam! Why are republicans who didn't serve questioning we democrats who did?!"

(As I just posted on the Sunday Show Daily Thread, I refuse to watch ABC, but Fox showed a clip of Kerry from today's GS program and that last sentence is almost a verbatim quote. With each public utterance Kerry is sinking to new depths. I know he also included that baseless charge in his hateful statement/letter.)

I'll bet the majority of Americans are not aware of Kerry's harm to his comrades in arms,the use of his and his compatriots testimony in taunting POWs,it giving the Cong more time at the Peace discussions.

I did not know there were frauds giving testimony in the Winter Soldiers' Investigation until Kerry became a candidate.
