Sydney Schanberg alleges that
Senator John Kerry, a decorated battle veteran, was courageous as a navy lieutenant in the Vietnam War. But he was not so courageous more than two decades later, when he covered up voluminous evidence that a significant number of live American prisoners--perhaps hundreds--were never acknowledged or returned after the war-ending treaty was signed in January 1973.
The Massachusetts senator, now seeking the presidency, carried out this subterfuge a little over a decade ago-- shredding documents, suppressing testimony, and sanitizing the committee's final report--when he was chairman of the Senate Select Committee on P.O.W./ M.I.A. Affairs.
I looked at the Kerry campaign site and have not seen a comeback to this article. Does the Kerry campaign have a response? On the face of it the article looks like just the sort of thing one would expect out of a Rupert Murdoch publication...but the Village Voice? Does anyone have a response to these allegations?
