The "Washington Dispatch" has a few good comments on the WaPo article. Another thing that is now clear. <font size=4>The Post story proves Rassman was wrong when he claimed there were no other boats around. ....One interesting piece of evidence was also contained in the report, John Kerry did leave the scene after the explosion and sped off down the river just as the SwiftVets have accused.<font size=3> - From: LindyBill From The Post… <font size=4><font color=green> “For much of the episode, Kerry was not in a position to know firsthand what was happening on Thurlow's boat, as Kerry's boat had sped down the river after the mine exploded under another boat. He later returned to provide assistance to the stricken boat.” Thurlow tried to diffuse the situation, saying he would consider his award <font color=red>"fraudulent"<font color=green> if coming under enemy fire was the basis for it. <font color=red>"I am here to state that we weren't under fire.“<font color=green> He speculated that Kerry could have been the source of at least some of the language used in the citation.” <font color=black> The report is the key here. Who authored it? Was Kerry the source? The Post says the records are unable to draw a conclusion based on the records it obtained. This can come as little surprise to veteran observers of the old media. This story is over two weeks old and John Kerry has been discredited for his <font color=green>‘Christmas in Cambodia’ lie by the ‘New Media.’<font color=black> He has told the story for many years with many different versions. The Post ignored that, instead attempting to discredit one of the decorated SwiftVets. John Kerry is a decorated SwiftVet as well, and running for the highest office in the land. It’s admirable that The Post is after the truth in this incendiary story. Better late than never. But without the author of the report, and without vetting John Kerry as well, it’s of very little help, other than to even the score. It’s always been clear that one of these sides is lying. With Thurlow apparently caught with his military records and Kerry admitting his <font color=blue>‘Christmas in Cambodia’<font color=black> falsehoods by articles he wrote in his own hand, it’s time for the next logical step. <font color=green> John Kerry’s full military and medical records need to be made available. Kerry can do that very easily. And if he has nothing to hide, he can discredit this anti-Kerry group with one quick and easy release.<font color=black><font size=3> washingtondispatch.com
