Former POWs to launch anti-Kerry Website

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 (UPI) -- Former Vietnam POWs, including Medal of Honor recipients, are attacking John Kerry's anti-war activism in a new Website and documentary, sources said Tuesday.

The Website slated to appear as early as Thursday night or Friday is Stolenhonor.com and will feature not only the former prisoners of North Vietnam's infamous Hanoi Hilton prison complex, but also family members of former prisoners relating how anti-war activity by Kerry and other Vietnam Veterans Against the War affected their lives.

"This is going to be the POW story. They are going to talk about the documentary coming out soon and will tell the story about how John Kerry betrayed the POWs, fellow Vietnam veterans and his country," former POW Ken Cordier said.

Cordier told UPI's Richard Tomkins a documentary film was in the works on Kerry and his anti-war activism and could be posted on the site, as well as on television or other venues, by Labor Day.

"It will be like Farenheit 9/11 but it won't be a pack of lies," he said.

Funding behind the two ventures was not immediately clear.

Kerry, following his service in Vietnam, became a prominent anti-war activist and testified before a Senate committee about alleged atrocities. The ex-POWs say those unsubstantiated allegations were used by the North Vietnamese to sap their morale.
