Father Richard McSorley, a radical Jesuit priest and professor from
Georgetown University -- and one of Bill Clinton's anti-war comrades.
Father McSorley's "testimony" comes in the form of his book, Peace
Eyes, published in 1977. It is an account of his anti-war activities
and travels in the U.S. and Europe.
"When I got off the train in Oslo, Norway," Peace Eyes begins, "I
met Bill Clinton of Georgetown University. He asked if he could go with
me visiting peace people. We visited the Oslo Peace Institute and
talked with conscientious objectors, with peace groups, and with
university students." On November 15, 1969, I participated in the
British moratorium against the Vietnam War in front of the U.S. Embassy
at Grosvenor Square in London,"
 Fr. McSorley described the demonstrations:
The activities in London supporting the second stage of the moratorium
and the March of Death in Washington were initiated by Group 68
(Americans in Britain). This group had the support of British peace
organizations, including the Committee on Nuclear Disarmament, the
British Peace Council, and the International Committee for Disarmament
and Peace .... The next day I joined with about 500 other people for
the interdenominational service. Most of them were young, and many of
them were Americans. As I was waiting for the ceremony to begin, Bill
Clinton of Georgetown, then studying as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford,
came up and welcomed me. He was one of the organizers [emphasis added].
The British Peace Council, with which "organizer" Clinton was involved,
is the British branch of the World Peace Council, a Soviet-front
directed by the KGB. These demonstrations were not merely "anti-wary
they were anti-American, pro- Vietcong, pro-Hanoi. and pro-Ho Chi Minh.
They were used as propaganda by the communist and liberal media to
undermine American morale.."
