On April 22, 1971, during televised testimony before the United States Senate Armed Services Committee, Lieutenant John Forbes Kerry USNR said:

?I have been to Paris. I have [secretly] talked . . . with the Provisional Revolutionary Government [the enemy] . . .?

Kerry went on to say that he agreed with ?all eight of Madam Binh's points . . .? Madam Binh was the Viet Cong?s lead representative.

One of Madam Binh?s primary requirements was the surrender of US forces to the communists, which she said the Viet Cong demanded before American prisoners of war would be returned.

Yes, Lieutenant John Kerry USNR, by his own public admission, violated Article 104 (Aiding the Enemy, punishable by death), Article 92 (Failure to Obey an Order or Regulation, punishable as a court martial may direct), Article 100 (Subordinate Compelling Surrender, punishable by death) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice by illegally meeting with the enemy and then championing their demands right on the floor of the United States Senate.

Kerry also violated Title 10, Section 904 of the United States Code, which states:

?Any person who . . . without proper authority, knowingly . . . communicates or corresponds with or holds any intercourse with the enemy, either directly or indirectly, shall suffer death or such other punishment as a court-martial or military commission may direct.?

Kerry also violated Title 18, United States Code, Section 953 (the Logan Act):

?Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.?

On May 6th, 2001, John Kerry admitted committing war crimes during an interview with Tim Russert on Meet the Press:

?I took part . . . in the burning of villages . . . [which is] contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions.?

To this day, Kerry refuses to estimate how many innocent men, women and children he intentionally roasted to death in the villages he set ablaze. None of the men in John Kerry?s unit have admitted to burning villages, so we must either assume Kerry was out and about by himself on secret missions of murder and mayhem, or his men refused to participate in Kerry?s crimes.

If this man sounds like he has what it takes to be a fine commander in chief, then I am a monkey?s uncle.

Did you ever stop to think that if there was any substance to those claims that something would have happened within, oh, the last 33 years?

swift boat lairs get to you ... from everything i heard... that meeting was not secret at all... and it was to discuss peace for a pointless war where thousands of americans were dieing not for freedom but out of paranoia started by the government that the commies were taking over...

Ahh, good to see the mind set of the Ann Couter clones. Kerry was a traitor! Hang him!

It's 2004, not 1971. He's been a US Senator for 20 years. Whatever the shrimpboat vets told you is a lie. He did not break any laws, he was never charged and despite Nixon's best efforts, they never found any dirt on him.

"It's 2004, not 1971"

Agreed. And.. by comparison, what was Bush doing, besides being a coke-snorting alcoholic, shirking National Guard duty?

Does anyone really care why you didn't vote for Kerry or Bush or whoever? We must have 20 threads a day by attention whores who think I care who they voted for.

Are we gonna keep fighting over VietNam? I mean 35 years ago for crying out loud, and we are still fighting over it. Do we have to wait for all baby boomers to die before we move on? Yes, I know Kerry brought it up, but enough already.

Well, we all have our reasons for who we voted or didn't vote for.

I didn't vote for Bush and I feel that I have many, many reasons not to. He has had 4 years to prove himself, and I prefer to give Kerry 4 years to prove himself rather than let Bush give us 4 more years of cowboy politics.

Kerry never said he committed or even personally witnessed those atrocities. Your quote is wrong, and is one of the most common false attacks made against him. I don't have the exact quote, but he said that in 1971 he took part in a Veterans against the Vietnam War rally in Detroit where other veterans (whom he has never named) told him that they had committed, been ordered to commit, or had witnessed those atrocities.
It was unwise of him to testify these things before Congress as he did, especially as he had not personally witnessed the acts, and in 2001 he admitted that those words were from "an angry young man".
