Does anyone else think this is creepy?

Here are two articles that discuss the 1971 debate within the VVAW on the proposal to assassinate pro-war senators. John Kerry was a leader of the group at the time and seems to have had some knowledge of the proposal. Those who say he knew also stress that he opposed the idea.

However, if he knew, he did nothing to alert law enforcement to the threat.

By itself this is, perhaps, understandable. Nevertheless, it gets creepy when it turns out that Kerry invited the author of the assassination plot-Scott Camil-to a campaign event in Florida this year.

I realize that there would be certain political assassinations, and that might take place. And I think when you balance that against the fact that the United States has now accounted for some 18,600 people through its own Phoenix program, which is a program of assassination, and when you balance that off against the morality of the kind of bombing we've been doing in Laos and the kind of destruction wholesale of the country of Vietnam, which amounts to some 155,000 civilians a year killed, then I think to talk about four or five thousand people is lunacy in terms of the overall argument and what we're seeking in Southeast Asia.
