"His resignation would be a boon to all of America's enemies."...
I'm guessing the Kerry camp will be calling for his resignation. Oh, that's right, they already have ....
The events at Abu Grahib could be thought of as similar to what Kerry *says* happened in Vietnam (under Johnson):
Kerry, himself, says that he and people he knew witnessed much worse atrocities but no one reported them until he got home!
The problem is people like Lt. (jg) Kerry who would not act on what they knew or thought they knew.
