Former POW: Kerry Preyed on My Family

Former POW: Kerry Preyed on My Family: "Warner recounts that Kerry personally recruited his grieving mother to testify at the Winter Soldier hearings -- testimony that Warner was confronted and taunted with while in captivity, testimony that later appeared in John Kerry's infamous wartime book, The New Soldier.

In Stolen Honor, Warner says, 'They showed me a transcript of testimony that my mother had given at the Winter Soldier hearing. I read her testimony; it was not particularly damning, but I wondered how did someone persuade her? Then they showed me a statement by John Kerry. I know that he did talk to her and my sisters. It is really a contemptible act to take a grieving old lady and prey upon her grief and manipulate her grief purely for the promotion of your own political agenda.'"
