I posted the links months ago and was "alerted" on because they were Vietnam Vets (conservative) I now post the link to a left wing site that confirms the fact that there was a controversy in which the Kerry cousins stood to make a Billion or so off of Kerry voting to "certify" Vietnam as okay on the POW and human rights issues.

The links I provided before (which were archived on the old DU) spoke of this issue and the tribespeople who were still being oppressed as well as the vets who were pissed off about it. I have a good friend whose uncle is still "missing" in southeast asia and he tolds me a lot of vest are still pissed at Kerry's vote.

I honestly don't know if there are POW's alive who were sold out or whether the stories of human rights abuses are true (hell we have human rights abuses here and guantanom and Kerry isn't foing Jack-doodoo about it. Not even claiming Congress isn't an ATM like Byrd did.

I think he is gutless and that vote was probably a travesty. He may very well have sold out vets and pows and mia's families. I believe he did for profit. The fact that it set up a Billion dollar deal for his family is the kicker and makes me wonder.

Anyway -- I tend not to hit alert on folks whom are not clearly freepers or dangerously violent or crazy. You are not clearly a freeper. Will, and I can take your heat and give it back too.

Sad part is I agree with you on just about everything except Kerry.

What school were you teaching at again?
