Stolen Honor Unleashed

WASHINGTON (Talon News) --
The presidential campaign of Democratic Sen. John Kerry suffered another blow this weekend when the documentary

"Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal" was shown on the PAX network along with a multitude of local stations affiliated with ABC, CBS, and NBC.


In addition, the producers of the documentary have released it for free online viewing in several streaming formats.

"Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal" was produced by Carlton Sherwood, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and decorated Vietnam veteran. He reduced over 20 hours of vivid accounts of physical and psychological abuse suffered in North Vietnamese prison camps to a powerful indictment of the most prominent leader of the anti-war movement, John Kerry.

One by one, the men tell their horrific stories of torture at the hands of the North Vietnamese while Kerry and his cohorts paraded through the streets of Washington, DC carrying the flag of their captors. Several of their wives appear in the film to describe the impact of their husbands' prolonged absence and their reaction to the vilification of their imprisoned spouses.

The veterans in the film make the case that Kerry's public statements and antiwar activities along with Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden delayed the end of the war and postponed their release from the prison camps. While the North Vietnamese were losing the war in Southeast Asia, they say Kerry's words helped them "win the war in the streets of America."

As previously reported by Talon News, the Sinclair Broadcasting Group intended to run the documentary in many of its 62 outlets, but backed off under pressure from Democrats and stockholders.

Saturday morning, NewsMax.com began airing the documentary on national networks and in local networks across the nation. NewsMax.com estimates that the documentary reached over 90 million homes.
In a statement, NewsMax.com explained its action by noting that it was "critically important for the American people to hear the accounts of 17 American POWs and their claim that John Kerry and his anti-war activities betrayed them and the country."

NewsMax.com also said that EchoStar Communications, which operates the DISH satellite network,

announced that on Monday, November 1, it will offer Carlton Sherwood's documentary on a pay-per-view basis.

DISH said "Stolen Honor" will be available to more than 10 million customers for $9.95 on channel 457 at 8 p.m. Eastern time and channel 455 at 8 p.m. Pacific time.
