October 31, 2005 05:58 AM EST
By Sher Zieve – On Thursday, G. Gordon Liddy will host members of the Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation on his Radio program. The veterans’ group, along with filmmaker Carlton Sherwood, recently filed a lawsuit against failed presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry.
Filed in October, a portion of the suit surrounds the film documentary “Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal”. The film asserts that after Kerry had returned from Vietnam, he caused additional harm to captured US soldiers via his anti-war activities. The lawsuit charges Kerry with directing the DNC to issue false statements, which included assertions that the film was funded by “extreme right-wing activists”. But, according to Sherwood, it was actually paid for only by a Pennsylvania Vietnam Veterans’ group.
Also included in the suit is a defamation of character charge against Kerry’s former presidential campaign head Anthony Podesta. Podesta is charged with defaming Sherwood with comments sent in a widely-distributed email, in which Podesta claimed that Sherwood was “a disgraced journalist” and a “Bush hack”.
Liddy also plans to run excerpts from the film, on his Radio show, as well as Kerry’s 1971 testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Thanks for posting J
I hope they can bring recognition to the VietVets.
In the meantime I've mailed off what I could to VVLF and Sherwood.

Unfortunately, due to caregiver obligations, I was only able to catch the first few minutes of the program and, apparently, missed gmez's phone call (RATS) 
Any reviews to be had out there? I'll try to find an archive and post it if available. |
