Think of last month's spurious attacks on Kerry's military service in Vietnam. Though decried by lefty bloggers, the charges were not adequately debunked until newspapers such as the Washington Post and Chicago Tribune reaped the reward from Freedom of Information Act searches of decades-old military records and published eyewitness testimonials.

Is he talking about the Swifties? If so, can someone tell me what was debunked by the MSM? I don't recall them debunking a single one of the charges.

Heh. Guess I should have read the thread. We even highlighted the same words.

He doesn't mention SBVT specifically. To my knowledge, not one word of "Unfit For Command" has been debunked. But certainly some of it has in fact been confirmed (Christmas in Cambodia, self in flicted wounds for two of the three purple hearts, etc.)

The Navy did conclude that proper procedures were followed. But this finding does not address the questions raised by the SBVT. It's kind of the opposite of the forged CBS memos. In this case the documents are real, but the content is fake.

Of course the question of did Kerry deserve the medals is only half the story, and not the most serious half at that. Kerry's treason after he returned from Vietnam is irrefutable.

Kerry has still not signed form 180, and as we all know, he never will.
