Unfortunately, the Kerry Spot, which is a kind of blog appearing at National Review Online (and written daily by Jim Geraghty), doesn't provide hyperlinks to each of its entries. So, I must reproduce the whole of this particular entry below.
I really must.
Months ago, I was chatting with a Republican who is very, very knowledgeable about Kerry and I mentioned Kerry's 1971 travels to Paris, and meetings with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh. Binh had been a member of the Central Committee for the National Front for the Liberation of the South, and was now Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government (PRG) of South Vietnam. The military arm of the PRG was widely known as the Viet Cong, just as Madame Binh was widely recognized as the Viet Cong delegate to the conference.The import? That John Kerry has a decades-long habit of interjecting himself into the management of the foreign policy of this country (remember his notorious claim some months ago that he had met with certain ---undisclosed--- world leaders who wanted to see him elected?). In fact, one might even call it a unilateralist approach, hmmm? So who does this gnarled oak of a brahmin think he is? You don't go ---while an officer in the United States Navy or even as a private citizen--- to negotiate with the Communists in the middle of a war.
"Yeah, I've heard about that," the Republican said. "I've heard a lot of interesting things about that, but I don't think I want to talk about that just yet."
My eyebrows were raised, but he wouldn't say more.
Well, apparently Newt Gingrich just said to Sean Hannity, very slowly, very carefully, that John Kerry traveled to Paris three times to meet with the Communist leadership in secret.
I think we now know what that Republican didn't yet want to talk about.
I have been interested in this for a while now. A lot more interested than I have been in the medals issue. This is possible treason.
This is fatal.
