| Leeman, as I recall, Kerry's photo was removed shortly after its existence in the display was made known. In fact, somewhere out there is a photo of the individual who discovered it actually HOLDING the photo after it had been removed (courtesy of a museum curator as I also recall). |

Communist museum removes Kerry photo
Vet discovers manager put it in drawer after it got publicity
Apparently concerned about influencing the U.S. presidential
campaign, Vietnamese communist officials ordered a war museum
in Ho Chi Minh City to remove a photograph of John Kerry from
a display that was highlighted in "Unfit for Command," the best
seller challenging the senator's version of his military service
and his antiwar activities.
-----
An angered American veteran of the Vietnam War who learned of the
photograph through the book, traveled last week to the former Saigon
to see it for himself.
But Bob Paris, an ex-Army helicopter pilot who now lives in Hawaii, said
he discovered Thursday that the museum manager removed the picture
from the display about one month ago and stuffed it in a desk drawer.
Saturday, however, Paris returned to the museum to find the picture had
been put back on the wall – this time in a display clearly designed to
emphasize Kerry's diplomatic efforts as a senator rather than his more
controversial antiwar activities.
-----
Now, according to a report from Paris yesterday, "There was a new
display of pictures and the hard communist war rhetoric that was
present in the old display has now been changed. Kerry is no longer
featured as a North Vietnamese war hero, but as a visiting American
diplomat."
----- |
Which gave cover for Kerry's sympathizers (eg Doug Reese)
to claim that the picture's display was not what was originally
intended: honoring Kerry's contribution to the North's victory

The picture is most likely still in it's new politically correct place

I'd ask Galloway about it but he'd just refute it.
