Meet Me In Paris, John

As the campaigns head down the straight...

Democratic presidential nominee and Vietnam War veteran John Kerry tried to burnish his national security credentials on Saturday by vowing to hunt down terrorists with the same energy he used to pursue the Viet Cong.

...but Kerry already has some history in this regard...

[Kerry] openly told Sen. Fulbright's committee in April 1971 that he had traveled to Paris and met with "both sides" to the Paris Peace talks.
[...]
There were two Vietnamese communist parties to the Paris Peace talks – these are the "both sides" with whom Kerry met.

Kerry pursued the Viet Cong, alright, all the way to Paris for secret negotiations and a glass of red wine together.
