Kerry Denies Quotes Accusing U.S. Soliders of War Crimes

In a stark about-face, Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry
is now denying that he ever accused U.S. soldiers of committing war
crimes in Vietnam, despite amply documented comments - some televised,
others delivered while under oath - where he did exactly that.

Asked on Thursday whether he had accused his fellow soldiers of
committing war crimes in Vietnam during his April 1971 testimony
before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Kerry told CNN's Judy
Woodruff:

"No, I was accusing American leaders of abandoning the troops. And if
you read what I said, it is very clearly an indictment of leadership.
I said to the Senate, where is the leadership of our country? And it's
the leaders who are responsible, not the soldiers. I never said that."

However, a transcript of Kerry's April 22, 1971 testimony contains
accusations that his brother-soldiers committed all manner of
atrocities; charges he based on interviews of returning Vietnam vets
earlier that year at the Winter Soldier Investigation, an event Kerry
organized with anti-American actress Jane Fonda.

Kerry told the Senate that Winter Soldier witnesses "testified to war
crimes committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated incidents but crimes
committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at
all levels of command."

Speaking under oath, Kerry continued:

"They told stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears,
cut off heads, taped wires with portable telephones to human genitals
and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot
at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan."

A few days before his Senate testimony, Kerry gave the following
account on NBC's "Meet the Press":

"There are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that, yes,
yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other
soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire
zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50 calibre
machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our
only weapon against people. I took part in search and destroy
missions, in the burning of villages."

The future presidential candidate added:

"All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is
contrary to the Geneva Conventions and all of this is ordered as a
matter of written established policy by the government of the United
States from the top down."

Appearing on "The Dick Cavett Show" in July 1971, Kerry admitted that
he'd never actually seen some of the atrocities he testified about,
but still maintained that U.S. soldiers fighting in Vietnam routinely
violated the Nuremberg Principles.

"I personally didn't see personal atrocities in the sense I saw
somebody cut a head off or something like that," he told Cavett.
"However, I did take part in free-fire zones, I did take part in
harassment and interdiction fire, I did take part in
search-and-destroy missions in which the houses of noncombatants were
burned to the ground."

Kerry continued:

"And all of these acts, I find out later on, are contrary to the Hague
and Geneva conventions and to the laws of warfare. So in that sense,
anybody who took part in those, if you carry out the application of
the Nuremberg Principles, is in fact guilty."

CNN's Woodruff declined to confront Kerry with his previous comments
accusing his brother soldiers of committing war crimes in Vietnam.

Of course, that is not true, but we all know it, even Fudruckerton.

Interesting to hear how articulate Kerry is. Contrasted to Bush, it must
be embarrasing for his supporters.
