>>What he notes is that the Times is not citing Kerry's medical records for evidence.

...

Now either the Times has the record or it doesn't. Logic would tell you that if it had the record, and the record supported Kerry, the record would have been cited. So either it doesn't support Kerry, or they don't have the record. If they don't have the record, it means Kerry hasn't released it. Why not, if it would support him or at least not contradict him?

What's the simplest explanation here?<<

Nadine -

What he said was that the Times must have Kerry's medical records, and therefore the fact that they didn't cite them proves that the records show Kerry lied.

Now ask yourself this question. If the Navy's own medical records did not support the idea that Kerry was wounded in battle and had therefore earned a Purple Heart, why would the Navy have awarded him a Purple Heart? Three of them, actually. Do you suppose the Navy didn't have access to its own records?

There might be any number of explanations of why Kerry hasn't released the records. Maybe there's something embarrassing or highly personal in there that he just doesn't want everyone to know. Maybe he caught a dose of the clap in Saigon. Whatever.
