You say hearsay, but Kerry might have believed it, or at least believed most of it. He did hear the atrocity accounts in person as a moderator, coming from the alleged perpetrators themselves.

All this took place after the government tried to cover up the My Lai massacre. So it might seem very possible that more My Lais took place. "Not isolated incidents".

I say hearsay?

It matters not whether Kerry "might have believed it, or at least believed most of it...." If he did not observe or experience the events himself, they are nothing but hearsay.
