Burkett: "You're the guy who wanted to kill half a dozen U.S. Senators, right?"Camil: "Uh, yeah..."
Gas Station Attendant: [in New England accent] Sure, I remember Stutts. He was a loner, but a real hard worker. I mean, he pumped the gas, he checked the oil, he washed the windows. Nice kid.
Ted Koppel: Do you believe he killed Buckwheat?
Man: Oh, yes, definitely. That’s all he talked about. I remember one day I says, uh, “Stutts, why are you working so hard?” He says, “’Cause I’m saving up to buy a gun, so I can kill Buckwheat.” [shrugs]
[CUT to a tailor hemming the cuffs on a pair of slacks.]
Tailor: John was a quiet boy, a kind of a loner. But real polite. He always stood still when I hemmed his cuffs. Nice kid.
Ted Koppel: Do you believe he killed Buckwheat?
Tailor: Oh, yes, definitely. That’s all he ever talked about. . .

So who was the VVAW member claiming the information about him in the FBI files had been quoted selectively?

Thanks for the Ping, Tonk. Does B.G Burkett really think President Bush was a draft dodger? I am a little suprised by that quote.
I like his gotcha on Camil, though.

One VVAW member insisted that I had selectively quoted FBI files to make him look bad. I wonder if anyone noticed that, whether it was on your site or KerryTreason.com, selective quotes from the FBI files couldn't make him look bad if the material quoted wasn't in the FBI files.

Lawyer and leftist activist Mark Lane was one of the organizers of Winter Soldier. Wasn't this guy the inspiration for one of the Doonesberry characters?

I heard him and saw him tell his story and apologize, at a rally in DC. He was genuine. Without a doubt.

So the truth was clear and obvious to those in attendance? That's good. Sometimes things don't get said, or they're not stated very well, and the truth suffers.

So who was the VVAW member claiming the information about him in the FBI files had been quoted selectively? I can't remember his name, and he isn't listed on the schedule. I'm pretty sure he was the Texas Chapter leader of the VVAW back in the early '70s, however.

These guys aren't exactly tactical geniuses. "Home to War" author Gerald Nicosia spent about 10 minutes explaining why it really wasn't that bad that Kerry had attended the November 1971 VVAW meeting in Kansas City where the assassination of Senators was discussed. I couldn't believe he brought the topic up at all...

And it's a must-see for everyone.

I'm pretty sure he was the Texas Chapter leader of the VVAW back in the early '70s, however.Terry DuBose, maybe? He's mentioned in, for instance, file 8, p. 135, which is in the middle of a long file from the San Antonio FBI that runs from 114-173.

DuBose was there. I'm not completely sure if he was griping about the FBI files, or if it was another guy...

Okay; thanks. Please let me know if somebody remembers who it was. I want to know what they claim was misrepresented.

The Vietnam Center intends to post streaming video of all the sessions at its
Symposium site fairly soon, so we should be able to find out then.
