Nice work Bill. I guess this rowback is about as tough & hard hitting as we could expect from the NYT. Something stinks here however. When you see how this story has unfolded, it certainly raises my suspicions. Kerry had always claimed he quit the VVAW earlier in the year. When stories break that Kerry may have attended the assassination meetings, his handlers try to strong-arm those interviewed by reporters into changing their stories & say that Kerry wasn't present. When these former VVAW members refuse to change their story & then FBI files also place him there, Kerry quits his adamant denials about being present. Then he begins claiming no recollection of an assassination plot. Meanwhile the FBI files also have Kerry resigning on the 3rd day of these meetings. The meeting to discuss & vote on the assassination plot had been (allegedly) moved three times to assure it would not be bugged. This plot had been developed to the point of having a code name (The Phoenix Project). Only senior VVAW members were in attendance at these meetings. Kerry was one of the most senior members of the VVAW at the time. Some members have specific recollections of loud disputes involving Kerry & other members at the meetings in Kansas City. It is incredulous that anyone would attempt to deny any recollection of their attendance at meetings to discuss & vote on an assassination plot of US Senators. The sheer implication of being even remotely associated with something this radical & illegal would be indelibly burned into any normal persons mind forever. Now think of how it would reflect upon someone with grand political aspirations. When you look at the chronology of events, IMO, it is highly unlikely that Kerry was completely oblivious to the plot. It looks more & more like it has been a CYA operation all along because Kerry knew about the assassination plot & did nothing about it. Something which would only be harmful to a political career if the truth came out.
