I think you may be right, not much said after George Elliott recanted his statement. Then, not too soon afterwards, he recanted his recantment. Ain't seeing too much of this, are we?
"In Friday's Boston Globe, Elliott was quoted
as saying: "It was a terrible mistake
probably for me to sign the affidavit with
those words. I'm the one in trouble here."
Elliott told the Globe Kerry did deserve the medal.
PLAYING GOLF
Inundated with calls to verify the statement, Elliott grew media shy and
said through his wife he would not talk. Earlier in the day, Mrs. Elliott
said her husband was playing golf and would call back when he returned
in the afternoon.
Elliott later issued another affidavit -- witnessed and notarized -- this time
saying he was misquoted by the Globe and reaffirming his belief that
Kerry has "not been honest about what happened in Vietnam."
Elliott also wrote: "Had I known the facts, I would not have recommended
Kerry for the Silver Star for simply pursuing and dispatching a single
wounded, fleeing Viet Cong."
