From the Village
Hat tip to AllahPundit. Huge EFLby Sydney H. Schanberg Senator John Kerry, a decorated battle veteran, was courageous as a navy lieutenant in the Vietnam War. But he was not so courageous more than two decades later, when he covered up voluminous evidence that a significant number of live American prisonersâperhaps hundredsâwere never acknowledged or returned after the war-ending treaty was signed in January 1973. Major snip... I was drawn to the P.O.W. issue because of my reporting years for The New York Times during the Vietnam War, where I came to believe that our soldiers were being misled and disserved by our government. After the war, military people who knew me and others who knew my work brought me information about live sightings of P.O.W.âs still in captivity and other evidence about their existence. When the Kerry committee was announced (I was by then a columnist at Newsday), I thought the senatorâhaving himself become disillusioned about the Vietnam War, and eventually an advocate against itâmight really be committed to digging out the truth. This was wishful thinking. This is a must read. And from the Village Posted by: Dragon Fly 2004-02-24 |
