If Broder is the "Dean" he shoud be ashamed. Objective and truth-seeking? Yeah right.

Ask him this:

1) Re Kerry's testimony before congress about war crimes in Vietnam. Q: If Kerry saw these things, he had a responsibility as an officer to report each instance to his superiors. Why didn't he? Doesn't this make him complicit in the cover up of such crimes? And isn't this yet another example of Monday-morining quarterbacking by Kerry?

2) As for unethical conduct in Vietnam, Kerry by his own admision chased down a wounded enemy and finsihed him off as he was dying. Isn't this against Geneva? Aren't we supposed to treat captured enemy with a bit of mercy? Kerry got a silver star for this - who wrote him up for the medal? Usually its superior officer's who do this, But Kerry was most senior on the scene...and you're NOT allowed to write yourself up for medals.

After the way the 'Rats went after the honorably discharged George W. Bush without any evidence, I believe that Kerry's entire military record should be scrutinized. Fair is fair.

It is absolutely against the Conventions to do this. As a matter of fact, it could be considered a war crime in and of itself. Frankly, I am not surprised by Broder of any one else in the elite media who hasn't seen though this. They have no military background, have probably never read the convention - or been briefed on the rules of land warfare.

I want to know where the outrage is at this lack of forthrightness with the American people. Where are Kerry's records? We must press this point in every way we can. Those Dim bas*ards gave our President a proctological exam about his records - where are the demands for parity?

...by his own admission Kerry chased down a wounded enemy and finished him off as he lay dying.

In all the accounts of this action that I have read, Kerry's gunner fired into the hooch onshore and presumed the enemy had been wounded. Kerry beached the boat and dashed onto the shore, ran behind the hooch, shots were fired/heard, and Kerry ran back carrying an enemy gun. According to these accounts I read, NOBODY actually saw Kerry shoot. NOBODY (except Kerry) knew that the enemy was there or wounded.

Is the information you gave in another account? I really would like to know.
