good article. Federal law prohibits the forging of government or public records for the purpose of defrauding the U.S. In a Supreme Court case, Hammerschmidt v. United States, Chief Justice Taft defined "defraud" as follows: "To conspire to defraud the United States means primarily to cheat the Government out of property or money, but it also means to interfere with or obstruct one of its lawful governmental functions by deceit, craft or trickery, or at least by means that are dishonest." This means, the Justice said, that it "is not necessary that the Government shall be subjected to property or pecuniary loss by the fraud, but only that its legitimate official action and purpose shall be defeated by misrepresentation" or fraud. Could this apply to Kerry's testimony before the Senate Foreign Affairs committee in 1971? Certainly it was a fraud of the 1st. magnitude. I seem to recall Rather had some Viet Vets some years ago testifying to atrocities they and others had committed, similar to Kerry, and all were found to be phonies. Rather never bothered to check them out, either. KM
