Vietnam POW: Hanoi Hilton Torturers Cited Kerry's Speech

A former Vietnam POW is alleging that his Hanoi captors specifically
cited Sen. John Kerry's 1971 anti-war testimony to Congress as they
brutally tortured him to get him to turn on his fellow GIs.

One-time Navy pilot Paul Galanti was shot down over North Vietnam in
1966 and spent seven years in the infamous Hanoi Hilton.

He told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday that he learned of Kerry's
April 1971 testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
while being tortured by his Hanoi Hilton guards.

According to the Times, "during torture sessions, [Galanti] said, his
captors cited the antiwar speeches as 'an example of why we should
cross over to [their] side.'"

In his account to the Senate, Kerry accused U.S. soldiers of routinely
committing rapes, beheadings, mutilations and all manner of atrocities
against the Vietnamese people.

Galanti told the Times that Kerry's decision to publicly allege that
U.S. soldiers were war criminals "jeopardize[d] those still in battle
or in the hands of the enemy."

Because he did, Galanti said, "John Kerry was a traitor to the men he
served with."

"The Viet Cong didn't think they had to win the war on the
battlefield," the ex-POW said, "because thanks to these protesters
they were going to win it on the streets of San Francisco and
Washington."

Although Galanti's fellow POW, Sen. John McCain, has been silent in
recent years about the damage Sen. Kerry caused as a leader of the
radical group Vietnam Veterans Against the War, in 1973 McCain told
U.S. News & World Report that throughout his imprisonment, his North
Vietnamese captors were "bombarding us with anti-war quotes from
people in high places back in Washington."

"This was the most effective propaganda they had to use against us,"
the Arizona Republican explained.

But Galanti is the first POW to say that his Hanoi Hilton guards
expressly invoked Sen. Kerry's words during their brutal torture
sessions.

In his comments to the Times, he accused said the Democratic
presidential front-runner of having blood on his hands, contending,
"The Vietnam memorial has thousands of additional names due to John
Kerry and others like him."

In a follow-up interview with Fox News Channel's John Gibson, Galanti
said he'll take his story directly to the American people if the press
fails to expose the truth about candidate Kerry.

"Let me tell you one thing, it looks like John Kerry is going to get
the nomination," he told Gibson. "If he does, I'm going to come out of
the woodwork, and there's a whole bunch of us [who feel] the same
way."



Hopefully billionaire Kerry will burn in hell. He sold out Vietnam
Vets in 1971 and later sold out POWs & MIAs to get a billion dollar
real estate deal with Vietnam for his cousin. Kerry is scum.
