Wow,, is there really record that he actually 'voted' at the meeting? I had just heard he was there. Why didn't he report the group to the FBI if assassinations were being discussed?!

Actually Doug, you can check out more on this story in this article, entitled "Kerry Attended Meeting - But Voted 'No' on Killing Senators

All true, but the mainstream press will spend far more time pouring over Bush's National Guard records looking for dirt than it will ever devote to this story.

You may have continued to follow this closer than I have, but is it really established that he resigned his leadership? Or if he did, did he do it in stealth fashion? I think the Times continued to quote him well after then as a leader in the movement, and evidently Kerry didn't bother to deny it. That would be typical of Kerry's habit of playing everything both ways.

Of course I agree with you on the main point.

doug,

I wish this had legs, but the press is not going to touch it. Kerry is what is called a "misprisoner of a felony" which is a felony since he failed to report the plot against the senators. However, due to the many witnesses, he has changed his tune from "I wasn't there" to "I can't remember being there". So, I guess that is some progress.

Hillary.... She wants Kerry to lose because she thinks it will enhance her chances in 2008. She believes in nothing but her political career. Regardless, her move will initiate further infighting and perhaps a measure of revenge in 2008. I don't care either way. They are irrelevant.

[Peach]

It will depend whether Hillary really wants Kerry to be just a place holder so she can jump in '08 or whether she wants him taken out so she can jump in '04.

She's taking the temperature of the nation daily and the press is doing her many favors in the interim. Because of those FBI files, she is able to blackmail them into submission. Not that they aren't willing anyway given their political leanings.
