Kerry said he had met with communist representatives
"In a question-and-answer session before a Senate committee in 1971, John F. Kerry, asserted that 200,000 Vietnamese per year were being "murdered by the United States of America" and said he had gone to Paris and "talked with both delegations at the peace talks" and met with communist representatives."
"Kerry confirmed through a spokesman that he did go to Paris and talked privately with a leading communist representative. But, Kerry did not engage in negotiations."
"Asked about the appropriateness of Kerry's saying that the United States had "murdered" 200,000 Vietnamese annually when the United States was at war, Kerry spokesman Michael Meehan said "Senator Kerry used a word he deems inappropriate."
"Meehan said Kerry "never suggested or believed and absolutely rejects the idea that the word applied to service of the American soldiers in Vietnam." Meehan then declined to say to whom Kerry was referring when he said that the United States had murdered the Vietnamese."
"I have been to Paris," Kerry said. "I have talked with both delegations at the peace talks, that is to say the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government and of all eight of Madam Binh's points . . . ."
Kerry is finding that many of his statements and activities over the last 33 years are drawing new attention.
Story Still Developing.......
This will become a big one, But, not in the Media.
