He said he was guilty of war crimes on the Dick Cavitt show: MR. KERRY: Well, I have often talked about this subject. I personally didn't see personal atrocities in the sense that I saw somebody cut a head off or something like that. However, I did take part in free fire zones and I did take part in harassment interdiction fire. I did take part in search-and-destroy missions in which the houses of noncombatants were burned to the ground. And all of these, I find out later on, these acts are contrary to the Hague and Geneva Conventions and to the laws of warfare. So in that sense, anybody who took part in those, if you carry out the applications of the Nuremberg principles, is in fact guilty. ice.he.net

You sleazebag. Kerry swore before Congress to his investigation, its results, and its veracity as to his fellow soldiers' war crimes. He presented it as the truth, intended that it be accepted by Congress and the American people to be the truth, and intended to stake his credibility on it. Now, you want to retract his statements and give him an out?? You are crying that he was just passing along what he heard?? Even Kerry hasn't tried to parlay any such bullshit. If you now retract, you're admitting that his activities were unreliable, a sham, a lie, for public relations and for his own political aggrandizement.
