This is the same guy who testified for Operation Winter Soldier along with some guys who were later proven to have never served in Vietnam. That was back in the days when purjury was a crime...
I think people should read this article to find out where all this was really coming from:
Kerry’s Soviet Rhetoric (The Vietnam-era antiwar movement got its spin from the Kremlin) (Repost) by Ion Mihai Pacepa
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1102601/posts Pacepa was the spy-chief of Romania at the time, and he said in the article:
"As a spy chief and a general in the former Soviet satellite of Romania, I produced the very same vitriol Kerry repeated to the U.S. Congress almost word for word and planted it in leftist movements throughout Europe. KGB chairman Yuri Andropov managed our anti-Vietnam War operation. He often bragged about having damaged the U.S. foreign-policy consensus, poisoned domestic debate in the U.S., and built a credibility gap between America and European public opinion through our disinformation operations. Vietnam was, he once told me, "our most significant success."
