No I am not saying that they need to be silenced. I am instead asking what they did when Kerry was being considered for the award. YOu mean they wake up 35 years later. So my question is if they did make a representation then and it was investigated and the Award Committee found those allegations to be false and proceeded with the award, that is the end of the matter. If they did not make a representation then, that is the end of the matter. Coming back now is stupid and foolish. The American people are smart enough to realize that they are bozos if they are coming out now and did not do so then.

Chinu, evidently you're in denial(not the river) about Kerry's credibility. Why should voters take Kerry's word over 20 of his former peers in Vietnam? That doesn't make sense.
