Vietnam Communists directed Kerry

I almost forgot to blog this story about Kerry's direct involvement with the Vietnamese Communists through his leadership of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). You can find more about it at the Winter Soldier site, and of course, the New York Sun article that I mentioned yesterday may be found here.

The short verions is, there appears to have been a great deal of coordination between the VVAW and the North Vietnamese Communists while John Kerry was the leader of the former.

The CDEC Viet Cong document titled "Circular on Antiwar Movements in the US" notes, "The spontaneous antiwar movements in the US have received assistance and guidance from the friendly (VC/NVN) delegations at the Paris Peace Talks." It also notes that "The seven-point peace proposal (of the SVN Provisional Revolutionary Government) [the Viet Cong proposal advanced by one of its envoys, Madame Binh, operating out of Paris] not only solved problems concerning the release of US prisoners but also motivated the people of all walks of life and even relatives of US pilots detained in NVN to participate in the antiwar movement."

The significance of the documents lies in the way they dovetail with activities of the young Mr. Kerry as he led the VVAW anti-war movement in the spring of 1971.

I know this is America. I know everyone is free to vote for the candidate of their choice.

Why on earth would someone vote for Kerry?
