Scary Kerry

I'm an avid reader of The Drudge Report. Recently, Drudge has been covering information about a group calling themselves Swift Boat Veterans for Truth who are determined to set the record straight on Senator John Kerry's tour in Viet Nam. Their story, if true (and it appears to be so), is that Kerry is unfit for command because of the lies and distortions in his record. Among other things, he lied to obtain his medals, and was a "loose cannon" who couldn't be trusted to carry out direct orders. His commanding officer accuses him of coming to Viet Nam with intentions of building a political career. Today, I followed some links off the swiftvets site and discovered even more damaging evidence against Kerry at the curiously similar website The Winter Soldier Investigation. Apparently, a "War Remnants" museum in North Korea shows a picture honoring John Kerry for helping them defeat America in the Viet Nam War! The story of the picture is here, and verified here. An excerpt from the page (emphasis mine):
Jeff Epstein explains the importance of the photograph: "This photograph's unquestionable significance lies in its placement in the American protestors' section of the War Crimes Museum in Saigon. The Vietnamese communists clearly recognize John Kerry's contributions to their victory. This find can be compared to the discovery of a painting of Neville Chamberlain hanging in a place of honor in Hitler's Eagle's Nest in 1945."
I've never been one for political activism, but this is shocking and revolting! Anybody else having flashbacks of The Manchurian Candidate?
