The importance of this lies not in what we think of his actual experience in Nam, but in his honor - his truthfulness.

Right. Because the Swift Vets would have gone away if Kerry had made that statement, and the media would have quickly gone back to discussing more important stories.
Just like Glenn Reynolds attacked the Rassmann piece as not saying enough, his attackers will never be satisfied. There's no point engaging them because it's about the charge, not the verdict.

And, what do you mean by "nothing contradicts Kerry"? If there were "nothing", we wouldn't be discussing this, right? There's "something".

So what is it? Official statements that we weren't in Cambodia yet? You're old enough to know better.

People are now fighting dirty for this election simply because they can't stand the thought of those other shits who've been calling them idiots and liars and assholes for a year or more winning.

It's enough to make a conservative regret what they did to Bill Clinton, eh?
