I believe Kerry may have made an error if this is true. The 70's were a different time and attending a meeting with a murder plan unknown to him, is not the issue. The issue is, can we believe Kerry. A pattern is developing, and it is not good.

We already know about Bush...

This whole situation bothers me, not because Kerry was involved with the group -- heck, I was a member of SDS in its early days and maybe didn't get out quite as soon as I should have -- but because it brings up issues of credibility. I don't really care whether Kerry was at the meeting. I do care whether he is telling the truth about it. Particularly since his campaign has made such a point of challenging Bush's credibility on his National Guard service. One who challenges another's credibility about the distant past should make sure that they are not equally vulnerable to truth.
We don't, of course, know the full truth about the past either with regard to Bush's NG service or with regard to Kerry's VVAW attendance. But it's a concern with respect to both men.
