Oregon Vets Protest Assistant District Attorney's Statement in Ad That
Kerry Lies About Record
The Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. --
Several Vietnam veterans are calling for an assistant district
attorney to resign after questions were raised about his statement in
a recent ad criticizing Democrat John Kerry's military service.
Alfred French of the Clackamas County district attorney's office
appears in the ad sponsored by the group Swift Boat Veterans for
Truth. In the spot, French says:
"I served with John Kerry. ... He is lying about his record."
A group of Vietnam veterans who protested outside the county
courthouse Monday said French implied he had firsthand knowledge of
Kerry's war actions when in fact he had heard about what Kerry did
from friends.
In an interview with The Oregonian newspaper last week, French said he
relied on the accounts of three other veterans in making the statement
about Kerry and did not personally witness the events.
French did not return two messages left at his office Monday.
"As a senior assistant district attorney, you know as well as we do
that that kind of ridiculous statement would never pass muster in a
court of law," veteran Terry Kirsch said of French's account.
"We question your fitness to serve as an enforcer of the law after
swearing to facts in a legal affidavit that you do not know to be
true," he said.
