Kerry's position was the right one. What's damning? Kerry doesn't get the depth of intel the CIA and White House gets. He may get an occasional briefing or summary, but the White House gets it every day and has a right to every scrap of top secret data there is. The Senate has to investigate and subpoena intelligence to get the full picture. So apples and orange. Cant blame Kerry for Bush floating false stories and misrepresenting the true picture. If Kerry had all the raw intel the White House to cherry-pick from, or had been in on National Security Council meetings, maybe his stand would have been different, but as it is, he made the right decision. Go it with the UN, not alone. He has also been 100% correct about Bushie mis-steps and mis-leadership. Now Kerry has Mr. Beers from the NSC working for him and he's getting the fuller picture, the first-hand accounts. And what he's hearing about Bushie dishonesty is very powerfully disturbing. More and more evidence of this will come out in the future. That's why the right is attacking Kerry now, because they fear he will expose and beat the Bushies.
