Discrepancies noted in Kerry's record
Ex-skipper says website wrong

...However, Edward Peck, who was the skipper of the 94 before Kerry took over, said combat reports posted by the campaign for January 1969 involve action when he was the skipper, not Kerry. Peck, who was seriously wounded in fighting that took place on Jan. 29, 1969, said he believes Kerry campaign aides made a mistake in claiming Kerry as skipper of the 94 at that time.
On the Kerry website, the report of the combat on that day on the 94 boat is posted as occurring during Kerry's time as skipper of the boat. Peck said Kerry replaced him after the Jan. 29, 1969, event.
"Those are definitely mine," Peck said, referring to the combat reports that the Kerry campaign posted as representing Kerry's action. "There is no doubt about it."
Yes, and one of Kerry's Band of Brothers, ( I think his name is Alton or something like that,) was actually on Peck's boat, not Kerry's. Why isn't the media pointing that out. Kerry was taking credit for what happened to Peck.
