It doesn't help the cause of conservativism to have the people who are researching, working, developing and getting this story into print to have their thunder stolen either. Maybe that didn't happen here. But maybe it did. Since IT won't say where he got the material we are left to wonder.
For the record I first brought up this story more than a month ago and I have been working on it since and I have gotten it picked up by a couple of reporters--especially Tom Lipscomb. It's one of several stories about Kerry (and other subjects) that I have worked long and hard on. If you want to get an idea of some of them, please go check my bookmarks:
