What I suspect happened was that they went to Paris right after their honeymoon--so that Kerry could sharpen his anti-war chops ASAP. What I suspect happened was that they went to Paris right after their honeymoon--so that Kerry could sharpen his anti-war chops ASAP.

What I suspect is more likely is that Kerry went to Paris in March of 1971, the same time that the VVAW was meeting there along with Fonda. Kerry speaks French and he was on the VVAW executive board. I would find it odd that he would not be there despite the fact that he doesn't appear in the picture. Also, the fact that he mentions his meeting to Congress and recites Madame Binh's demands make it sound like the meeting was more recent than 1970.

This could be a significant finding if we can pin Kerry down in Paris at the same time as the VVAW and Fonda. Meehan's response tries to gloss over the meeting as being private and gives the impression it occurred in 1970. Kerry and his handlers should be asked to give the date(s) of his meetings in Paris.

No, that timeline doesn't fit. Kerry had some public press conference or other while the VVAW delegation was in Paris at that time. I've posted about that before. I'll try to find the citations again.

Anyway, I don't think the Boston Globe reporters would be that misleading. I would bet that Kerry went to Paris very soon after leaving Jamaica.

What this does show is that it is very likely that the VVAW got the idea of going to Paris and meeting with the enemy from Kerry. It was probably his idea for them to go.
