Is he related to Paul Vallely? (I think it's Paul) He's a retired General who lost a son in Iraq.
Frankie Valley?
What to do?
Not correct title,
but poster has posed a legitimate question.
The BOSTON GLOBE reported in 1996 that the Kerry home movies "reveal something indelible about the man who shot them - the tall, thin, handsome Naval officer seen striding through the reeds in flak jacket and helmet, holding aloft the captured B-40 rocket. The young man so unconscious of risk in the heat of battle, yet so focused on his future ambitions that he would reenact the moment for film. It is as if he had cast himself in the sequel to the experience of his hero, John F. Kennedy, on the PT-109."
"John was thinking Camelot when he shot that film, absolutely," says Thomas Vallely, a fellow veteran and one of Kerry's closest political advisers and friends.
Don't think he'll help much!
" September 18, 1972 -- John Kerry's brother Cameron and Vietnam veteran Thomas Vallely are arrested in Lowell, Massachusetts in the basement of a building that houses both Kerry's campaign headquarters and those of opposing candidate Tony DiFruscia. Cameron Kerry and Vallely are charged with breaking and entering with intent to commit larceny. Kerry will win the Democratic nomination for a Massachusetts congressional seat the next day, but lose in the general election to Republican Paul Cronin. Thomas Vallely will later become director of the Vietnam Program at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University."

What does this say about this guy's mental state that he spent three or four days throwing a hissy fit? Sheesh.
Seems like the perfect opportunity to further introduce J f'n liar to the American people, the part where he was deeply involved in treasonous activities such as discussing the murder of US Senators, and illegally negotiating with the communist enemy in Paris.
This part of F'n Liar's resume has not been much in the news as yet. Most people have no idea.
He is currently Director of the Vietnam Program at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.

Mysterious Dirty Tricks Follow Kerry During Election Years
As we have reported before, dirty tricks seem to follow John Kerry wherever and whenever he runs for office. Our original story detailed some nasty trickery on Kerrys part during the final days of the New Hampshire primary.
Since then, of course, John Kerry has earned enough delegates to become the nominee of the Democrat Party. As such, he has come under intense scrutiny for his shady past as a radical Vietnam War protester and for his attempts to disguise and obfuscate that past.
And wouldnt you know it, amidst all that controversy, the Kerry Dirty Tricks Brigade appears to have struck again.
The latest development involves a break-in at the home of a writer who is investigating in depth Kerrys anti-war past. The writer, Gerald Nicosia, who lives in San Francisco is a self-identified Kerry supporter. However, Nicosia acquired some highly explosive files relating to Kerrys past in 1999 and has been working on a book regarding Kerrys life upon returning home from Vietnam. The burglars who broke into Nicosias house made off with some of the most damaging Kerry documents. They left the balance of his valuables behind, making it all but obvious they burgled on behalf of the Kerry campaign, or interested parties thereof. Nicosia made news a couple of weeks ago when he revealed the Kerry campaign lied when they said the junior Senator from Massachusetts was not at a meeting in Kansas City of anti-war radicals in 1971 in which a motion to assassinate 6 or 7 U.S. Senators was raised, but shot down. Kerry was indeed there. As we have reported, Kerry voted NO on killing his future colleagues. The Nicosia break-in is eerily similar to the notorious Lowell Watergate story that is widely believed to have cost Kerry victory in his first race for public office, a Congressional seat in Massachusetts in 1972. During the closing weeks of that election, Kerrys brother Cameron and another Kerry campaign aide were arrested for having broken into the headquarters of at least one of Kerrys opponents. The headline of the Lowell Sun the next day sealed Kerrys defeat: "Kerry brother arrested in Lowell `Watergate." We await, perhaps in vain, for the mainstream press to pick up on John Kerrys bag of dirty tricks. Wherere Woodward and Bernstein when you need em? |

I think I went to school with him..
The first-person account by Vietnam veteran Rood in Sunday's Tribune came about after he was contacted by a supporter of Kerry's named Thomas Vallely, a Marine during the Vietnam War and a former Massachusetts lawmaker who is director of the Vietnam program at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
Last week, with Kerry taking a pounding from the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, Kerry told Vallely: "
'We need to find Billy Rood.' He called him Billy," Vallely said in an interview. "It was Kerry's idea" to contact Rood in the hope that he might support Kerry's account.
So Vallely "Googled" Rood.
"I called the place we thought he was working, a suburban chain of newspapers in Chicago. He didn't work there anymore. Then I 'Verizoned' up his home phone number and I called his house and I asked if this was Mr. Bill Rood's home, someone said yes and gave me the number for the Chicago Tribune."
Vallely said he never had heard Rood's name before Kerry asked him to find him.
"I basically said, 'Would you talk to Sen. Kerry?' Then we had a little bit of a private conversation, then John Kerry called him. This all took place within 15 minutes, maybe a half an hour. (Kerry) called me a half an hour later. He was talking to Bill Rood."
Vallely added: "John Kerry mentioned to me, 'They're going to make their own decision about how to do this.' That was fine with him."
"They" referred to the crew of Rood's swift boat. "We had no idea what they were going to do," Vallely said. "They never showed their hand to us."
Vallely recalled that Rood provided him the name of Jerry Leeds, who was the senior enlisted man on Rood's boat. He said Rood indicated that Leeds and other members of his crew had been following the swift boat controversy.
Tribune Managing Editor James O'Shea said Rood approached the newspaper's top editors after talking with Kerry.
"He said he was undecided about whether he was going to step forward," O'Shea said. "We told Bill that we would respect his decision to remain silent, but that if he was going to talk and come forward with a statement, we wanted that statement to be published in the Chicago Tribune.
"Bill said he wanted to think it over overnight, and Thursday afternoon, he decided he was going to write his story and talk to no one else."
to introduce the Vallely in question......the top reference has already been taken down, but I doubt they can get them all.

" A year later, the only freestanding foreign-sponsored academic institution in Vietnam, attached to the Ho Chi Minh City Economics University, is a project of Harvard's Institute for International Development and the American Council of Learned Societies. It is called the Fulbright Center [after Senator Fulbright I presume], and was dedicated in November of 1995, four months after normalization. On that occasion, Thomas Vallely, himself a former marine who served in Vietnam in 1969 and part of 1970, told the audience, "This teaching center is a gift to the Vietnamese people from the American people, a gift conceived by John Kerry, the senator from Massachusetts." Vallely went on to acknowledge John McCain as well: "I think that if we could overhear the voices of those silent American veterans whose names are engraved on the black granite wall in Washington, they would agree with Senator McCain and say that it was time for Americans to remember the many silent Vietnamese veterans and to reach out toward Vietnam in a peace of the brave."
This guy is a real a$$hole. I wouldn't be surprised if he was somehow involved in either the business opened by Kerry's Forbes cousin in Vietnam, or had some other monetary investment over there.
It warms the cockles of my heart to know that Kerry made it a priority to provide an educational institute in his fatherland, but never once did anything for education here in his 20 years in the Senate.
Kerry has pitched himself overboard from his own campaign, and now is calling on various people to throw him concrete life rings. This is just plain fun to watch.
