Excellent points.

I had figured given his assignment that Kerry's 1971 claim of committing "atrocities" was an exaggeration to gain the authority of an expert.

Or maybe he had been "ordered" to.

I hadn't thought he committed the atrocities on his own volition, and it's looking that way.

sigh, would that facts still mattered.

He can't posture about his "guilt" and then not expect people to ask: What have you done that would make you feel so guilty? He can't itemize the sins of soldiers who had "personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads…cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks," without being asked: How did you learn about all of this?

The razing and the shooting of animals for fun he seemed to have directed himself, according to his detractors.
