I'm pretty surprised, but I did a search and apparently this article hasn't yet been posted.

It was actually posted late last night under "John Pfund story" [sic], but I don't see it now.

Ah, here it is. Typo corrected.

But did he resign from the group itself at the November 1971 meeting in Kansas City, or just from its national leadership? Two months after Kansas City he represented VVAW at a speech at Dartmouth College. On Jan. 26, 1972, he was at a Washington protest meeting where the New York Times described him as "a leader of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War."

A picture is worth a thousand words...

John Kerry Watching Nixon on Television

John Kerry, a Vietnam vet and head of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, watches as President Nixon announces an agreement on a cease fire in Vietnam. Kerry, who lost to Republican Paul Cronin (D-Mass) in the November general elections said, "my initial reaction is thank God that the prisoners are coming home and that we at least have stopped American participation in the war."

C-Span ran a very enlightening old Dick Cavett show yesterday, with John Kerry and another former Naval officer, debating Kerry's claims of war atrocities committed by Vietnam veterans. It was very enlightning. John Kerry has not changed at all. He has continued to use the same MO of smearing people to advance his own political career, first with the Vietnam Veterans against the War, then with the Kerry Contra Committee and now with the Clarke book and the 9/11 commisssion.

I wonder how much of the '60s counterculture drug boom Kerry took part in?

I'm glad they finally did it. I don't know if it had anything to do with it, but I have been feeding info to a major reporter from the WSJ. I hope the rest of you are doing the same. Flood the newsrooms and demand reporting.

Last week Gerald Nicosia, the historian who first uncovered evidence the FBI tailed Mr. Kerry back in 1971, reported to police that three of the 14 boxes of the FBI files he obtained under the Freedom of Information Act were stolen from his California home ....

These would only be copies of the original documents, right??

The FBI shold still have the originals, wouldn't they??

Incredible that the Democrats would pick a weirdo such as Kerry. Lieberman would have had a far better chance of beating Bush.

A "Hon" of a story.

”....Mr. Bush chose to serve stateside during the war, was lax in attending guard duty during his last year, and had to feverishly make it up before he was honorably discharged. It's clear President Bush doesn't want to talk about his service, but reporters pressed for answers anyway.

Not so fast Mr. Fund, you are usually more clear than that statement.......... The Real Military Record of George W. Bush: Not Heroic, but Not AWOL, Either
(real truth)

and then..."Last week Gerald Nicosia, the historian who first uncovered evidence the FBI tailed Mr. Kerry back in 1971, reported to police that three of the 14 boxes of the FBI files he obtained under the Freedom of Information Act were stolen from his California home and that other individual files from the remaining 11 boxes were also swiped, including documents about Mr. Kerry that Mr. Nicosia hadn't yet reviewed. "Those revelations are lost now, at least to me," Mr. Nicosia told the Associated Press.”......How very convenient...........

Mr. Kerry now says he was relying on the "highly documented and highly disturbing" stories he heard at a Detroit conference funded by Jane Fonda. The Naval Investigative Service later found that some of the most grisly testimony there was given by false witnesses.

This refers to the Winter Soldier Investigation of Jan 1971.

But unfortunately, the NIS report has disappeared, so we can't rely on it at this time.

We have many reasons to suspect the veracity of the WSI witnesses, but not a single WSI witness has suffered public exposure as a fraud, so far.

I welcome correction on this, or rather, breaking news of WSI debunking.

I keep checking FRN's wintersoldier.com: http://ice.he.net/~freepnet/kerry/
