I hear you,
I try to have some 'quiet time' before heading to bead.. looking at the sky, reading old books, finish up my journal, but I was piqued enough by the Freep comments to go ahead and watch that.
Ted Koppel did the very same thing when in Iraq, the guest of the troops he was 'embedded' with. When in Iraq, he wasn't too gracious, and it could be excused as being inconvenienced by living with the troops, but he wasn't home more than three days after leaving Bagdad IA before he was back on message about how stupid this whole thing was and how doomed to failure.
Something about being Liberal, successful, and being a recognized spokesman calls for being sly, incredibly devious, and disingenuous in setting up questions. Now we have his proposition that Kerry lied in his biography, again in his autobiography, the Swifties lied, and only the after-action report agrees with the VietCong/Vietnamese, so how could we refute these poor peasants who have nothing to lose by telling the truth?
Nauseating.
(P.S. they should have finished digging up the US weapons when that peasant woman offered to pull up the corn in her garden to let them get started. did you see that? She said they were still there buried just under the ground. How could they miss that scoop?)
Rush is replaying it right now. !!!!!!!!!

ABC to air documentary on Kerry in Vietnam
That is so disgusting. I NEVER liked Koepple, I don't watch him and I think it's about time he was shelved. A real disgrace. Thanks for the great report in post above. God Bless your Soldiers and Marines, literally carrying the world's water!
