Revising History -- John Kerry Style Blogs for Bush 8/22/2004 With all of the blogosphere (and reluctantly traditional media) buzzing about John Kerry's ever changing story regarding the seared image of his illegal Christmas in Cambodia, it is helpful to look back at one of Kerry's earlier revisions. In a Boston Globe story, dated April 24, 2004 touting the wounds John Kerry received for his 2nd Purple Heart, there is a curious paragraph regarding John Kerry's revising his service record in Vietnam: <<< The Kerry campaign removed a 20-page batch of documents yesterday from its website after The Boston Globe quoted a Navy officer who said the documents wrongly portrayed Kerry's service. Edward Peck had said he -- not Kerry -- was the skipper of Navy boat No. 94 at a time when the Kerry campaign website credited the senator with serving on the boat. The website had described Kerry's boat as being hit by rockets and said a crewmate was injured in an attack. But Peck said those events happened when he was the skipper. The campaign did not respond to a request to explain why the records were removed. >>> In this same report, the last paragraph mentions that the Kerry campaign was to release all his militray records, only to change their mind. However, the final sentence says that once again, the Kerry campaign reversed itself and will subsequently release the records. That was April 24, 2004. We're still waiting. Be sure to check out the Boston Globe's helpful, Attack/Counterattack on John Kerry's military service record and the ever increasing questions regarding the truth of his medals. blogsforbush.com boston.com
