Kerry citation a 'total mystery' to ex-Navy chief August 28, 2004 BY THOMAS LIPSCOMB Former Navy Secretary John Lehman has no idea where a Silver Star citation displayed on Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's campaign Web site came from, he said Friday. The citation appears over Lehman's signature. "It is a total mystery to me. I never saw it. I never signed it. I never approved it. And the additional language it contains was not written by me," he said. The additional language varied from the two previous citations, signed first by Adm. Elmo Zumwalt and then Adm. John Hyland, which themselves differ. The new material added in the Lehman citation reads in part: "By his brave actions, bold initiative, and unwavering devotion to duty, Lieutenant (jg) Kerry reflected great credit upon himself...." Asked how the citation could have been executed over his signature without his knowledge, Lehman said: "I have no idea. I can only imagine they were signed by an autopen." The autopen is a device often used in the routine execution of executive documents in government. Kerry senior adviser Michael Meehan could not be reached for comment on Kerry's records. Thomas Lipscomb is chairman of the Center for the Digital Future in New York.

The liars of the rightwing trying to scare us into being so stupid as to overlook legions of Bush lies and failures and re-elect him simply because Kerry may or may not have stretched the truth to get out of his three Purple Hearts. That is what the GOP wants this election to come down to. Meanwhile: - worst poverty, health care, jobs, environment, divided nation, lack of honesty in the White House, deficits, foreign policy, political corruption, war quagmire in a long long time. We'd have been better off without anyone as president than GW and his corrupt neocon cronies.
