In November 1971, Kerry was a national leader of VVAW (Vietnam Veterans Against the War) and as such attended a monthly meeting in Kansas City. At this meeting “Phoenix type” groups were discussed and “favorably received”. Kerry at first denied attending this meeting, but later had to admit that he was there. The following is a short transcript from a Declassified FBI document:
Page 191
November 1971 Meeting in Kansas City, Missouri (Kerry attended)
November 12 party at one of the member’s house
(transcript begins)
At the party, SCOT CAMIL, VVAW Regional Coordinator for (blacked out) and (blacked out) from Gainesville, Florida, bragged that he had a training range in either Florida or Georgia but would not divulge the location. CAMIL proposed the establishment of “readiness groups” of the “Phoenix type”. This proposal was made in the presence of (blacked out) VVAW Arkansas organizer (blacked out), all from Arkansas, (blacked out) the VVAW Regional Coordinator for Missouri and Kansas, and a delegate from Montana, and three delegates from St. Louis, names unknown. When asked if CAMIL meant “Phoenix type” in the same context as understood by military personnel, CAMIL answered in the affirmative and outlined a plan for “political elimination” of the “government chain of command”. The “Phoenix type” is a military term given to groups with specific assassination assignments and the delegates knew that CAMIL meant political assassinations rather than political eliminations. CAMIL said the activities would depend upon the men being devoted enough to carry out their assignments. CAMIL said that even talking and planning such activities was against the law and therefore the “Phoenix type” groups should carry out their assignments. CAMIL said he had training ranges for rifle, pistol and mortar practice. He claimed he had rifles, pistols and rifle grenades, but no mortars. CAMIL’s proposal for the “readiness squads” and the training was favorably received by many of the persons present and was thereafter quietly disseminated to those at the party. CAMIL indicated he was already conducting his own training program.(transcript ends)
Should we ever let a leader of such a group be President of the United States?

"- Created by the CIA in Saigon in 1967, Phoenix was a program aimed at "neutralizing"—through assassination, kidnapping, and systematic torture—the civilian infrastructure that supported the Viet Cong insurgency in South Vietnam. -"
