There are way too many sources and witnesses to the allegations that Kerry trumped up his "war wounds" for the matter to be rumor.A major turning-point for this story will be if and when it makes it on to Fox News. They don't have liberal bias, so they'll report it as soon as they believe it. The fact that they're not reporting it yet, causes me to throttle back on my enthusiasm for this.
Believe me, if this story gains momentum (which it must if all those sources and witnesses are really there) then I will be cheering it up bigtime.
