Inside
the Beltway
Kerry's
fault
A
former aide to President Clinton is suggesting that John Kerry and the
anti-Vietnam War organization he once led were the real reasons Republicans
broke into Watergate in 1972.
Bob
Weiner, the 1971-72 Youth Voter Registration director for the Young Democrats
office at the Watergate headquarters of the Democratic National Committee
and a White House staffer for six years, told this columnist yesterday
that he has re-examined Watergate hearing volumes held by the Library of
Congress.
He
points out that Watergate burglar James McCord testified that the DNC office
was broken into because its staff was "working closely with violence groups."
Upon further questioning, he repeatedly named the Kerry-led Vietnam Veterans
Against the War, which he accused of being "a violence-oriented group."
