Formal Complaint Filed Over Senator’s Vietnam Awards, Post-Service Activities
(Washington, D.C.) – Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today filed a request with the U.S. Navy and the Defense Department for an investigation into the awards granted to Sen. John Kerry during his service with the U.S. Navy in Vietnam. Judicial Watch also requested that military authorities investigate Kerry’s anti-war activities, including his meeting with North Vietnamese and Viet Cong delegations in Paris, while a member of the Naval Reserve.
Basing its requests on a recently published book, Unfit for Command, by former Navy officer John E. O’Neill and Harvard University professor Jerome R. Corsi, and on news media interviews of other officers and sailors who served with Kerry, Judicial Watch notes that unresolved allegations against Kerry include: false official reports and statements; dishonorable conduct; aiding the enemy; dereliction of duty; misuse and abuse of U.S. government equipment and property; war crimes; and multiple violations of U.S. Navy regulations and directives, the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the U.S. Code.
Kerry was awarded three Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and a Bronze Star for “wounds” received and actions in Vietnam, but eyewitnesses refute his version of a number of the events that were the basis for receiving the commendations. Judicial Watch is asking the Department of Defense and the U.S. Navy, including its Department Board of Decorations and Medals, to look into the circumstances surrounding Kerry’s awards.
Judicial Watch also is requesting an investigation of Kerry’s anti-war activities. After he was released from active duty but while he was a commissioned officer in the inactive Naval Reserve, Kerry joined the anti-war group Vietnam Veterans Against the War and traveled to Paris to meet with delegations from North Vietnam and the Communist Viet Cong. He held a press conference in Washington, D.C., following the meeting and advocated the “peace proposal,” which included war damage reparations, put forth by the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong.
“The allegations concerning Kerry’s conduct during the Vietnam War are credible, serious and shocking,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The sooner an investigation begins, the better.”
Mention Judicial Watch to the next member of the press you meet and watch their reaction.
If 25% of this is ever read on the air, uninterrupted, it will NOT be contained.
It is pretty self-sustained, and contains enough evidence to convict, if confirmed by those quoted.
Exactly!! They don't need to associate with JW.
Ping
In John O'Neill's own words, "THE GIG IS UP."
How about an investigation of Judicial Watch?
I wish. Oh how I wish!
Yes I saw this. I think Kerry's Boat just lost an engine
Kerry had it coming - to build a career based upon lies never flies. The truth will hurt, but brings about a change, and this is Kerry's time for payback. NO Democrat can help him now - and that is what he needs. I would also urge everyone to sign the petition at www.kerry-04.com, to remove him from office. God works in mysterious ways, and this is one of them! May God bless President Bush!
God says: "YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW"
"this is HUGE"
No...it's HUGH.
AND SERIES!!!
The Sierra Club and Judicial Watch are seeking records from Cheney's task force, which met behind closed doors
One loss!
Klayman trying to get back in our good graces????
What ever happened to the Elian Gonzalas case?
Elian went back to Cuba. Which side was Judicial Watch on? I think to keep Elian in the U.S.
Another loss?
3.7. Revoking Decorations. Revoke an award if facts, later determined, would have prevented original approval of the award
I KNOW Elian went back to Cuba. Judicial Watch was suing on behalf of the Miami relatives.
THE KERRY CAMPAIGN
He'll never be a 'Rat candidate, he is too centrist for the Libs
I'll second that. They end up making a mockery of everything they touch. I suppose Larry smelled the contribution aroma and couldn't resist.
I would like to hear of ANY victory by JW.
