His first meeting in Paris was end of May, 1970. His testimony before the Senate committee was April 22, 1971. He then met with the North Vietnamese in Paris sometime in the summer of 1971. He's never admitted to that meeting as far as know, and it only came to light with Nicosia's review of FBI docs. Newt mentioned a third visit, but we don't have record of that one, as far as I know.
Why can't we just make some records? Danny boy from SeeBS knows how to get the job done! If you can't find records, you just make em!
I cannot stop wondering if kerry himself had something to do with NVn keeping some of the POW's.
They kept them for at least 2 reasons, first to assure actual withdrawal after the release of only 591 POW's; and second, as 'insurance' toward "reparations" to be paid to Vn (it was never paid).
There are still 107 POW's known to have been alive and in enemy hands who were not released or otherwise accounted for. Kerry's actions while the chair of the Select Committee on POW/MIA are history.....he and McCain capped the issue and then kerry was instrumental in opening diplomatic and business relations with Vn soon afterward.
