Vets call for resignation of Clackamas prosecutor in Swift Boat ad

Clackamas County Oregon prosecutor Alfred French is being asked by a local veterans group to step down from his job, according to KATU news in Portland. French signed an affidavit declaring that he knows Kerry is lying about his record in Vietnam. French also appeared on the Swift Boat ad declaring Kerry lied about what happened. French later admitted that he had no firsthand knowledge of Kerry's actions and was relying on stories from friends.

"As a senior assistant district attorney, you know as well as we do that that kind of ridiculous statement would never pass muster in a court of law," Terry Kirsch of Canby said of what he called French's hearsay account.

"We question your fitness to serve as an enforcer of the law after swearing to facts in a legal affidavit that you do not know to be true.

"Mr. French signed an affidavidt defaming John Kerry's military service and then he admitted that he had no first hand knowledge of what he swore to. To lie in a sworn affidavit goes beyond political smear, it is cause for this assistant district attorney to resign, and resign now."
