hanoi john only rescued 1 man, sandusky is not that man. It may just be the kerry campaign guy's misunderstanding that these are 2 different men and getting them confused.
Sandusky is very unimpressive from a public relations standpoint, and all suggestions to ask him about the 180 medical release form, the atrocities, etc are a damned good idea.
Kerry is going before the VFW on Wed... plan on some major stunt from him to "seek healing" and "put this controversy behind us."
Be prepared. The reason they've hidden on vacation for two days is to find a way to extricate themselves from this mess.
I think Sandusky was trying to say "We were on the same boat. We looked out for each other. We saved each other's lives.", not that he literally saved Kerry's life and Kerry literally saved his life.
