The communist regime in Hanoi monitored closely and looked favorably upon the activities of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War during the period Senator Kerry served most actively as the group's spokesman and a member of its executive committee, two captured Viet Cong documents suggest.
The documents - one dubbed a "circular" and the other a "directive" - were captured in 1971 and are part of a trove of material from the war currently stored at the Vietnam Archive at Texas Tech University at Lubbock. Originally organized by Douglas Pike, a major scholar who is now deceased, the archive contains more than 20 million documents. Many are available online at the Virtual Vietnam Archive and, as the election has heated up, have been the focus of a scramble for insights into Mr. Kerry's anti-war activities. The Circular and the Directive are listed as items numbered 2150901039b and 2150901041 respectively. Their authenticity was confirmed by Stephen Maxner, archivist at the Vietnam Archive.
The two documents provide a glimpse of the favorable way the Viet Cong viewed the activities in which Mr. Kerry was involved. They are from many documents of a kind that were ordinarily sent to a unit called the Captured Document Exploitation Center at the United States Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, which was headquartered in Saigon. Documents like these that were sent to the center were immediately translated into English and processed for battlefield intelligence for targeting or operations as required, or filed.

Hanoi approved??? Heck, they were directing... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1256997/posts
This will undo Kerry!
John Kerry a collaborator with the enemy during wartime?
Who could possibly imagine such a thing?
Please. Those 380 tons of munitions Bush lost will be in every newspaper in the world tomorrow, even though it was shown to be wrong. AND you think they might actually carry this??
expect more lies on the front page not truth.
We were just talking about this.
expect more lies on the front page not truth.
Sadly, I agree with you my FRiend. The MSM has ignored the Swift Vets, but embraced the likes of Kitty Kelly. This will get airtime on the conservative talk shows, the New York Post, and the Washington Times, but beyond that, the pro-Kerry MSM (with the exception of Fox News), will bury it.
What's a little treason amongst Democrats?
Cincinatus' Wife did a google news search and every newspaper seems to be running with the story about Bush losing those weapons even though its been discredited.
Secretly meeting with the Communists multiple times, then implementing the enemy's strategies (using the families of
POWs) and championing their proposal for US surrender.
Kerry is either a fool or a traitor.
And today, this hasn't changed... the things that he says only encourages the enemy.
I'm with you. I deliberately held off this story just to get a little more info - which means I have more credibility than the NY Times does.
I want to see someone besides "us" run this story, and since it's appeared in print now, I think this will be the headline for tomorrow. This is the real story about John Kerry, and I hope we get a chance to post the docs in question...
Why am I not shocked? It's part anti-Bush bias and part laziness on the part of the editors of these newspapers.
The crAP and the Slimes wire service fed them with the story and they just ran with it. Somehow I doubt that there will be a similar number of retractions in these papers' Wednesday edition.

Why am I not surprised? What will surprise me is if the MSM pays any attention to it. They should, no doubt....but I guess we shall see;/
There is NO way this wont be covered. This is HUGE (If legit).
