From O'Neill's book: “Kerry's statements are complete lies. Kerry was never in Cambodia during Christmas '68 or at all during the Vietnam War. Kerry was never ordered into Cambodia by anyone and would have been court-martialed had he gone there.”

As you know, Kerry campaign employees were convicted here in Wisconsin. They had slashed tires to prevent people from voting. This is not the first time the Kerry campaign has had arrests: 1972 Campaign for Congress In February 1972, after Kerry previously passed on an opportunity to run in another district, his wife, Julia bought a house in Worcester. Residence there would have required Kerry to run for Congress against an incumbent Democrat, Harold D. Donohue. Instead however, the couple rented an apartment in Lowell. The incumbent in that district, F. Bradford Morse, was a Republican who was thought to be retiring. Counting Kerry, the Democratic primary race in 1972 had 10 candidates. One of these was State Representative Anthony R. DiFruscia of Lawrence. Both Kerry's and DiFuscia's campaign HQ's were in the same building. On the eve of the September primary, Kerry's younger brother Cameron and campaign field director Thomas J. Vallely, both then 22 years old, were found by police in the basement of this building, where the telephone lines were located. They were arrested and charged with "breaking and entering with the intent to commit grand larceny", but the case was dismissed about a year later. At the time of the incident, DiFruscia alleged that they were trying to disrupt his get-out-the vote efforts. Vallely and Cameron Kerry maintained that they were only checking their own telephone lines because they had received an anonymous call warning that the Kerry lines would be cut. [17] Although Kerry's campaign was hurt by the election-day report of the arrest, he still won the primary by a comfortable margin over state Representative Paul J. Sheehy. DiFruscia placed third. Kerry lost in Lawrence and Lowell, his chief opponents' bases, but placed first in 18 of the district's 22 towns. In the general election, Kerry was initially favored to defeat the Republican candidate, former state Representative Paul W. Cronin, and an independent, Roger P. Durkin. A major obstacle, however, was the district's leading newspaper, the conservative Lowell Sun. The paper editorialized against him. It also ran critical news stories about his out-of-state contributions and his "carpetbagging", because he had moved into the district only in April. The final blow came when, four days before the election, Durkin withdrew in favor of Cronin. Cronin won the election, becoming the only Republican to be elected to Congress that November in a district carried by Democratic Presidential nominee George McGovern.

Doug Brinkley (very credible) confirms Kery was in Cambodia 3-4 times in very early 1969. He was stationed on the Cambodian border around Christmas in order to start ferrying Special Ops into Cambodia. This was part of the secret (and illegal) Phoenix Program where many of the atrocities described in 1971 happened. Phoenix was a CIA black ops operation responsible for assasinating thousands of Vietnamese. Their fevorite method was beheading. Don't believe me? You can read about it in the book "Everything We Were", in the chapter "Green-Faced Frogmen" by a Navy SEAL. The far right also smeared the author of that book BTW. They want to keep their atrocities secret. Admiral Hoffman of the smearvets was known to order atrocities. He was a "burn down the hootches guy" they said. No wonder he felt threatened by Kerry. Kerry's testimony could have gotten Hoffman court-martialed. The smearvets claim that there were no atrocities in Nam was ridiculous. There were hundreds if not thousands, on both sides.
