"...the VVAW/WSO operation during 4/72 during which a canvass of VVAW/WSO members, some in active military service, developed information indicating US would bomb Hanoi and Haiphong. This information was disseminated by VVAW/WSO prior to the actual bombing and could have seriously jeopardized US Military operations and lives of servicemen."

"...At the time, Kerry was serving as the point man for the Vietnam Veterans Against the War.
The president of the organization was Al Hubbard, who claimed to be an Air Force captain
who was severely injured during his service in Vietnam.
It turned out Hubbard was a sergeant who never served in Vietnam..."

It's BS and I for one am sick of it...
My loathing of these people requires medication.
But, I'll drink to "Absent Friends", instead...
It's been a rough day with the typo's :0(
Thanks for the original.
Hubbard lied. Kerry lied. Fonda lied. Servicemen died.
HOLY MOLY! Pass the Ammo!
I am presently reading the FBI files and there is more to come than this. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Right now what the Kerry campaign is hearing is the first scraps of the hull of the S.S.Kerrytannic on the iceberg below.
The Vietnam stuff was a smoke screen that Kerry and the Taxocrats hoped they could pull off before anyone deleved in to the FBI files .

Kerry was transferred to Standby Reserve, "inactive" July 1, 1972
Unfortunaltely this is dead already, the media will not pick it up, seeing as though they have had all this time to report it. The simple dim response will be, it was an illegal(or some other word) dirty nixonian tactic from way back when and bears no weight on todays issue.
