The only ad that passes your test would be 20 minutes long and contain the entire unedited speech. The ad only uses a small portion of Kerry's testimony. ....You cannot deny the ad distors what Kerry said.

Kerry may not have admitted to his own participation in atrocities in testimony before the Senate, claiming he was just passing along the testimony of others as you said. But he sure as hell admitted it on television both before and after his Senate testimony.. "I committed the same kinds of atrocities as thousands of others in that I shot in free fire zones, used harassment and interdiction fire, joined in search and destroy missions, and burned villages." John Kerry, From an April 18 appearance on Meet the Press...Four days prior to appearing before the Senate. ice.he.net Kerry admitted it again after the Senate hearing, when he was on The June 30th Cavett show. "I did take part in free-fire zones, I did take part in harassment and 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 acts, I find out later on, 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 application of the Nuremberg Principles, is in fact guilty." boston.com
