Maybe this thread can be forward to Michael Dobbs at the WaPo and he can get some in-depth answers from Kerry?
He is not interested in getting to the bottom of this. It is a strategic hit from the Kerry campaign ... but like much of what the SwiftVets expose, there are embedded truths in everything that perpetually damn Kerry's LIEs about these events.
Note how the Post "reporter" came to write this story - he's told there's this particular document and is told the spin with which Kerry campaign reps (could be somebody in his "band of brothers" or, more likely, their politicos at their press conference recently). They request that document via FOIA knowing exactly where to file and everything. Then they report the spin they're given (that's the way these things work with major media / lib reporter types) but, in so doing, they have to present the facts ... and the facts, as they're being dissembled on this thread, reaffirm & support everything the SwiftVets have been saying and refute Kerry's accounts even further!
