Diary Bombshell: Kerry Met With Terrorists

In a bombshell development that could have turned President Bush's victory 
into a landslide had it come out before the election, John Kerry wrote in his 
Vietnam War diary that he met with "terrorists" in Paris - a revelation that
"flabbergasted" his running mate, John Edwards.

All during the campaign, Kerry had adamantly refused to release his diary,
claiming that he'd given exclusive rights to use the document to his 
biographer, Douglas Brinkely. But when Brinkley told reporters that wasn't 
true, Kerry still declined to make the diary public. Now we know why.

According to Newsweek magazine, "Kerry's diary included mention of a meeting
with some North Vietnamese terrorists in Paris."

Though Kerry's sit-down with North Vietnamese representatives had been 
reported late in the campaign, his description of them as "terrorists" would 
have set off smoke alarms.

The prospect that the top Democrat was willing to negotiate with "terrorists" 
35 years ago would undoubtedly have cemented the Bush campaign's central 
message on Kerry: Anyone who would negotiate with terrorists can't be trusted 
with U.S. national security in a post-9/11 world.

John Edwards was "flabbergasted" by the news, Newsweek said. He recognized
immediately how important it was to keep Kerry's terrorist confab secret.

"Let me get this straight," he told campaign staffers who delivered the 
shocker. "He met with terrorists? Oh, that's good."
