In 1971, John Kerry attended a meeting with the Northern Liberation Front of Vietnam (commonly called the Viet Cong) and negotiated a "Peoples Peace Treaty" (the exact wording of which is at the link). Since this was clearly not an official negotiaiton, and had no influence upon what the US military nor the Viet Cong actually did, he was not charged with a violation of the Logan Act (which prohibits US citizens from negotiating with foreign powers). But, our soldiers & POWs heard about it. The anti-war efforts contributed to the decline in morale of our forces, and contributed to over 380 reported "fraggings" (in which troops killed superior officers whom they felt were putting them at too much risk). http://www,airbornecombatengineer.typepad.com/airborne_combat_engineer/2004/01/whats_the_true_.html He has some diffulculty deciding which Silver Star citation to show as they are three of them, from different people. The one over John Lehman's name as Sec'y of the Navy has been disavowed by Mr. Lehman. He has no recollection of signing anything for Kerry. Lehman was not Navy Sec. until many years(14?) after Kerry's suposedly heroic exploits. KM
