"But the picture is good, huh???"

Thanks for digging this up. It should be one of the images that flash across the screen in the sbv adds.

"It just requires one to see the truth. No need to be careful, the proof is overwealming."

Yes, I'm wondering if anyone has compiled links and could put in thread? I'd do it but just don't have time at the moment. So if by chance anyone has already compiled the links or knows of another thread that has them and could index here, it would be great having that information to pass along. IMHO this story, whenever shared, should be combined with links to proof of activity after his resignation because his spin will probably be to say he resigned or to deny the meetings happened.

Mr. Kerry heard men tell of torture, gang rape and the killing and mutilation of women and children. "It was jarring," Mr. Kerry says. "We'd all heard the stories just scuttlebutt. But not firsthand."

How can you tell what is the truth with Kerry?

Here's the latest entry for "What's New" at WS.com:

----------

September 25, 2004 -- Winter Soldier participant Scott Camil recently filed an affidavit in Florida. It notes Camil's service in Vietnam and disputes Steve Pitkin's claim to have met Camil in Catonsville, MD and travelled with Camil to the Winter Soldier Investigation in 1971. No argument there; Pitkin independently realized his mistake after seeing video of Camil and corrected his own affidavit some 10 days ago.

The most interesting thing about Camil's affidavit is what it doesn't say. It doesn't take issue with Pitkin's statement that he was pressured by John Kerry and others to testify falsely about atrocities at the Winter Soldier Investigation, nor does it attest to any atrocities seen or committed by Camil himself. At WSI, Camil spoke of "the burning of villages with civilians in them, the cutting off of ears, cutting off of heads, torturing of prisoners, calling in of artillery on villages for games, corpsmen killing wounded prisoners, napalm dropped on villages, women being raped, women and children being massacred..." Camil went on to say, "I saw one case where a woman was shot by a sniper, one of our snipers. When we got up to her she was asking for water. And the Lt. said to kill her. So he ripped off her clothes, they stabbed her in both breasts, they spread-eagled her and shoved an E- tool up her vagina, an entrenching tool, and she was still asking for water. And then they took that out and they used a tree limb and then she was shot."

More than 33 years after the Winter Soldier Investigation, Scott Camil finally files a legal affidavit, but all he has to say is, "I didn't ride to Detroit with Steve Pitkin." Fine. Now then, what about all those "atrocities?"

Recently (still?) Scott Camil worked for the Kerry campaign.

I have read that Kerry did NOT leave the group, only that he resigned from its Executive Committee -- which is hardly the same thing.

Does anyone have a source for this info? I don't remember where I read it.

"In a phone interview with the Sun this week, Mr. Camil did not dispute either the account in the Nicosia book or in the oral history. He said he plans to accept an offer by the Florida Kerry organization to become active in Mr. Kerry’s presidential campaign. Campaign aides to Mr. Kerry invited Mr.Camil to a meeting for the senator in Orlando last week, but they did not meet directly. "

Thanks! (Funny, but today the What's New link works for me)

Camil went on to say, "I saw one case where a woman was shot by a sniper, one of our snipers. When we got up to her she was asking for water. And the Lt. said to kill her. So he ripped off her clothes, they stabbed her in both breasts, they spread-eagled her and shoved an E- tool up her vagina, an entrenching tool, and she was still asking for water. And then they took that out and they used a tree limb and then she was shot."

And yet Camil did nothing to stop it? He had the 'courage" to advocate assassinating US Senators, but couldn't put himself at risk to oppose this on the scene? Or at least report it afterwords?

Contrast this with Hugh Thompson, the helicopter pilot who confronted Calley at My Lai and did what he could to oppose it, rescuing some villagers, threatening to shoot Calley's troops, and reporting the atrocity to higher-ups.

Of course Camil may have just made these stories up...
