"Well, no this is starting to get very interesting."

How's this for interesting ?
Last night, Jim Robinson started a thread
where he posted the October 6, 1996 interview that Kerry gave Charles Sennott of the Boston Globe.( Flashback: 1996-The Boston Globe: The Making of the Candidate )
The whole article is a must read.

In a nutshell, Kerry proudly showed his home movies to the Boston Globe reporter.
Kerry's home movies showed Kerry and his men torching a Vietnamese hamlet and
Kerry, in cutoff shorts, sunbathing next to a blind folded and bound prisoner.

Kerry spent 5 hours with Sennott showing him his home movies from Vietnam.
Kerry would jump up and adjust the color and sound, etc. He would freeze frame and fast forward.
Here are my favorite excerpts :

" This was America's effort to win the war right here, Kerry says as the film showed soldiers
dousing gasoline on huts in a small village before setting them on fire."
" There was always a kind of sick, sweet smell of burning wood."

Page 62 of " Unfit For Command "
quotes George Bates an officer in Coastal Divison 11 describing how Kerry ordered the torching of a small hamlet that was obviously nothing more than a peaceful fishing village.

Kerry ordered the farm animals slaughtered and then Kerry ran around with his Zippo,
" burning up the entire hamlet."
Bates said the village was apolitical, no symbols or flags in evidence.
Bates said that " existing policies, decency and good sense required the boats to simply move on."
Bates believes that Kerry acted " in an almost criminal manner."
Maybe that's why Kerry loved Fahrenheit 911- a bit of a pyromaniac, perhaps ?

How about this-
" There is Kerry in cutoff shorts,
working on his suntan next to a Viet Cong prisoner bound and blindfolded."

Sounds like Kerry had his own little Abu Ghraib going.

When asked how he filmed in the heat of battle, Kerry said :
" I'd steer or direct or fire my gun and hold onto it, whenever I could."
"Sometimes, the other guys would pick it up."

Kerry " explained how he returned later with a Super 8 mm hand held movie camera to record highlights of the mission."
" That's me right there, one of my crew was filming this."

( Del Sandusky gave an interview to FOX on July 30, where he denied that Kerry or his crew ever filmed or restaged events in Viet Nam-guess he forgot to get the official version from Kerry before talking )

Kerry put his men in danger, when they were in hostile territory, by shooting video instead of commanding the boat.
Kerry put his men in danger by returning to the site of previous ambushes and making them play act in his sick fantasies.

I just cannot get over the fact that the MSM and Drudge are ignoring Kerry's own video where he happily torches a village and where he puts on his Ray Bans and sunbathes next to a bound and blind folded prisoner.
