I don't see where it was proven that Kerry went twice. According to Meehan, Kerry had one brief meeting. Wonder if he ever went back? The same article talks about his wedding trip with first wife to Paris.....and while meeting with the NV "wasn't the purpose of the trip"....evidently he did... (look at that last sentence carefully....parsing the words again...) As in..."I didn't intend on going to that meeting, it was my honeymoon, but somehow I found out there was a meeting and thought I'd stop in..........." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>When Kerry was asked by committee chairman Senator J. William Fulbright how he proposed to end the war, the former Navy lieutenant said it should be ended immediately and mentioned his involvement in peace talks in Paris. "I have been to Paris," Kerry said. "I have talked with both delegations at the peace talks, that is to say the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government and of all eight of Madam Binh's points . . . ." The latter was a reference to a communist group based in South Vietnam. Historian Stanley Karnow, author of "Vietnam: A History," described the Provisional Revolutionary Government as "an arm of the North Vietnamese government." Madam Nguyen Thi Binh was a leader of the group and had a list of peace-talk points, including the suggestion that US prisoners of war would be released when American forces withdrew. After their May 1970 marriage, Kerry traveled to Paris with his wife, Julia Thorne, on a private trip, Meehan said. Kerry did not go to Paris with the intention of meeting with participants in the peace talks or involving himself in the negotiations, Meehan added, saying that while there Kerry had his brief meeting with Binh, which included members of both delegations to the peace talks.<<<<<<<<<<<<<
