Kerry has not denied any of the things the Swift Boat Vets have said as far as I can tell. Kerry has just sent his attack dogs out. Seems Kerry could clear this up with a simple denial and release of records.
Hugh researching this story further ... hopefully he'll be able to get Senate speech. He's approaching this as a lawyer which is the right way because this particular story of Kerry's undermines all his positions and posturing over the years - if shown to be a falsehood then it's the straw which breaks the camel's back & then all the other stories he's made or concocted will fall assuredly.
