Andrew, Yes, such reports should be aired over, and over, again.

Andrew,
Of course i have on idea if any of this is true or not. However, as i remember vietnam, it was not uncommon to destroy a VC village in this manner. So he may have just been following orders. When he came home and became a leader of the anti war movement and lied about atrocities, he became fair game. Some of these things may be true but explainable. Others may be exaggerations that over time have taken on a life of their own. Only thing for sure is that true believers on each side will believe what they believe. Independents will throw their hands up in dismay in these vince foster like allegations. And Kerry will continue the focus on his heroism because he has nothing else. Again i say, this swift boat assault on kerry is counterproductve. mike

There is a fundamental contradiction in Kerry's message about his service in Viet Nam. He stands behind his statements about how shameful the American soldier's ( including his own ) behavior was in Viet Nam - worse than the soldiers of Gingus Kahn in fact. An yet he claims he is PROUD of his service in defending America.

Is he proud or is he ashamed? If his message is he is proud AND ashamed then he has gone past nuanced right into mental illness.
