The point of the story is the context of the photo. It's in a room specifically dedicated to honoring those international activists who helped North Vietnam and the VC win the war.

From the article:

The existence of photographs showing Senator Kerry meeting with General Secretary Do Muoi is not in question. In the course of pursuing the POW and MIA issue, it is reasonable that Senator Kerry would seek to meet with the communist leaders of Vietnam. The critical issue is that the Vietnamese communists have chosen to honor Senator Kerry in their War Crimes Museum for his assistance in helping them achieve victory over the United States. The sign outside the entrance to the room where Kerry's photo is displayed reads: "The World Supports Vietnam in its Resistance." Also exhibited inside the room are protest banners and emblems from various nations and photographs of international leaders who supported North Vietnam's cause.

The people who placed John Kerry's photo there knew exactly what they were doing.

All the more unfortunate that the caption, which reads, "Mr. Do Muoi, Secretary General of the Vietnam Communist Party met with Congressmen and Veterans Delegation in Vietnam (July 15-18, 1993)", does not mention Kerry by name or call attention to his nefarious activities during the war.

I agree that whoever selected that photograph for display may well have known who Kerry was and what he did, but it doesn't by itself make a clear-cut case against Kerry. Swing voters won't have the patience to connect the dots. JMHO.
