Typical liberal response...

When confronted by the truth, kill the messenger.

..... Thurlow said he lost his Bronze Star citation more than 20 years ago. He said he would not authorize release of his military records because he feared the Kerry campaign would discredit him.

hmm .... I just don't like reading that. You need to be transparent in these things.

Another rag for Kerry. It is true that 10 out of 10 terrorists do not support Bush. This rag sounds just like the rest.

Good observation.

Why would any organization be against the President when he put forth the resolve to free millions of them? And if freedom is not important to this group, why are they not the Muslim Iraqi Society?

Larry has corrected the record:

"Statement By Swift Boat Veterans for Truth Member Larry Thurlow

I am convinced that the language used in my citation for a Bronze Star was language taken directly from John Kerry's report which falsely described the action on the Bay Hap River as action that saw small arms fire and automatic weapons fire from both banks of the river.

To this day, I can say without a doubt in my mind, along with other accounts from my shipmates-there was no hostile enemy fire directed at my boat or at any of the five boats operating on the river that day."

Then get John Kerry to become transparent and release his records! He's the one running for POTUS!

Does anyone out there have any information on Jim Rassman? I mean, who is this guy? Who were his fellow soldiers and officers? Is this guy credible? First he says that he fell off Kerry's boat, now he was in the boat behind Kerry. He's obviously being paid by DNC, but I hear rumors that there is something coming out on him. Does anyone know?

I agree with you. If the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth all released their own records, we'd have a better of the general tenor of fitness reports. Kerry's is extremely complimentary, but the SB Veterans say that kind of praise was routine. They could demonstrate that this was so.

Rush just said Carl Cameron was reporting that Kerry wrote the citations.

Has anyone heard this report?
Is Cameron digging?

I don't like reading that either, but considering the source of the article, the whole story may ring false.

If it's true that Kerry wrote up the citation for Thurlow's Bronze Star, then how can he (Kerry) and his mouthpieces (Lanny Davis), make the claim that the Swifties have no knowledge of the incident because they were not on Kerry's boat. How could Kerry write up a citation for someone who wasn't even on his boat?
