Dem presidential nominee, John Kerry could weel be in trouble over claims involving a Vietnam Veteran's Against The War plot to threaten US senators. "'What did Sen. John Kerry know and when did he know it about a plot to assassinate pro-Vietnam war U.S. Senators hatched at a November 1971 Kansas City meeting of the group Vietnam Veterans Against America? "According to presidential biographer Douglas Brinkley, that's the question Sen. Kerry needs to answer. If it turns out that the likely Democratic presidential nominee knew of the treasonous plan, Brinkley says he had an obligation to go to the authorities. "'The question is: did Kerry quit [VVAW] before Kansas City or did he quit after Kansas City,' Brinkley told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg. 'If he quit after Kansas City, that means he clearly knew about this assassination plot against the Senators and never went to the authorities.' "Kerry says he submitted his official letter of resignation to the VVAW just days before the critical Kansas City confab. But two Vietnam veterans who attended the session told the New York Sun on Friday that they remember Kerry was there. "Meanwhile copies of Kerry's resignation letter are nowhere to be found. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/3/14/230107.shtml
