Agreed that the text didn't have the word "refutation". Others have used words to that effect, though, and it could backfire.

But the most damaging finding consisted of the sworn statements of several veterans, corroborated by witnesses, that they had in fact not attended the hearing in Detroit," Lewy wrote. "One of them had never been to Detroit in his life." Fake "witnesses" had appropriated the names of real Vietnam veterans.

Now this would really do some damage to the WSI, if confirmed. Unfortunately, we only have Lewy's word for it.

I can't see how it would violate security to release the names of the imposters, or at least the names of those who had their identities stolen.

Imagine the testimony of a guy saying someone had stolen his identity for the WSI, and a call comes for tracking down the imposter. Broadcast on "America's Most Wanted".

I think that it isn't a security matter, but rather a Privacy Act issue. We're trying to see what's available and what our options might be.
