Kerry's mental health treatment records, including his therapy, ought to be released. Here's a guy who had Vietnam post-traumatic stress and serious Vietnam flashbacks, running to be in charge of "the football."

Several paragraphs later, Kerry is claiming he's no longer haunted by bad dreams about his Vietnam War experiences: "I don't think I've had a nightmare in a long time," he tells the reporter. Your standard-issue political spouse would nod empathetically and let that statement lie.

"But then," writes Leibovich, "Heinz begins to mimic Kerry having a Vietnam nightmare. 'Down! Down, down!' she yells, patting her hands down on her auburn hair. 'I haven't gotten slapped yet,' she says. 'But there were times when I thought I might get throttled.' "

When Kerry tries to avoid a question about whether he's been in therapy, Heinz reveals that he has.
