Link to Part 2:
Anyone see the new commercial?

Paul Galanti, captured in 1966 after ejecting from his fighter jet about 100 miles south of Hanoi, said on the Sean Hannity radio show yesterday he first heard Kerry's testimony in late 1971 when it was broadcast by his North Vietnamese captors over the public address system in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton" prison.
The broadcast on Radio Vietnam by "Hanoi Hannah" was used to reinforce the message of his captors during torture sessions, said Galanti, 64, now retired in Richmond, Va.
"We were not prisoners of war, we were 'war criminals,' they would say. 'You are going to be tried, you will never go home.'"
Then came Hanoi Hannah introducing a clip from Kerry's testimony.
"I couldn't believe it, a Navy officer saying we were all war criminals, that we raped and pillaged the countryside like Genghis Khan," said Galanti.
Galanti, who flew 97 combat missions, said he had not suffered a flashback from the war until he recently heard a recording of the April 22, 1971, testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
His memory was triggered when he heard Kerry mispronouncing "Ghenghis Khan."
"Then I was back there again," he said.
Galanti said Kerry broke a covenant with his fellow servicemen, to never jeopardize their safety with public criticism. But he believes, moreover, the Massachusetts senator betrayed his country.
"John Kerry was a traitor," he said, adding the "definition of treason is giving aid and comfort to the enemy in the time of war."
As WorldNetDaily reported, Galanti appears in a new television ad by Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth, a group of 254 vets who served with Kerry and have signed a letter contending he is unfit to be commander in chief.
The 30-second spot intersperses comments from Galanti and another former POW, Ken Cordier, with Kerry's 1971 testimony.
Galanti says in the ad, "John Kerry gave the enemy for free what I and many of my comrades in North Vietnam, in the prison camps, took torture to avoid saying. ... It demoralized us."
Later, Galanti concludes the ad with, "He dishonored his country and, more importantly, the people he served with. He just sold them out."

BTW, could a nice person write an ignorant German a line why these things are called 527s? When I heard it first on tv I needed quite a while to find out what they were talking about....
