Vietnam Condemns American Treatment of Prisoners; Cites Kerryâs Testimony
Hat tip: Instapundit. EFLA Republican lawmaker says Sen. John F. Kerry should apologize for his 1971 testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The Vietnamese government is now using Kerryâs 1971 comments to question Americaâs treatment of Iraqi prisoners. Quelle surprise. In a one-minute speech on the House floor Wednesday, Rep. Joe Pitts (R-Penn.) noted that the Vietnamese government has weighed in on the Iraqi prison scandal. "But the official communist Vietnamese news agency isnât citing the Geneva Convention or the U.N.," Pitts said. "Itâs citing testimony given by John Kerry in 1971... And now his misleading, inaccurate, hateful words are being used by a government with an atrocious human rights record against this country. Senator Kerry should apologize once and for all to our troops and to our nation...And he should disavow these statements as false before more nations decide to rely on his erroneous testimony from 1971." Donât hold your breath, Congressman. John Kerry - Posted by: Barbara Skolaut bskolaut@hotmail.com 2004-06-26 |
