This sounds like a perfect documentary for the History Channel. (I'll be over here holding my breath until they show it, okay?)

Complaints against the Sinclair Broadcasting network by John Kerry's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee may have backfired, with non-Sinclair TV stations now expressing an interest in airing the documentary "Stolen Honor," which chronicles the candidate's role in the anti-Vietnam War movement.
"A few other TV stations around the country have contacted the producer of this documentary as well," Sinclair spokesman Mark Hyman told nationally syndicated radio host G. Gordon Liddy on Tuesday. "So there appears to be some growing interest in making this available to the nation's viewers."
Hyman said that Sinclair's decision to air the documentary was driven in part by a desire to pick up the slack from other broadcast networks, which have increasingly shunned news coverage in favor of entertainment programming. Referring the 13 Vietnam-era POWs who appear in "Stolen Honor" criticizing Kerry for protesting the war alongside the likes of anti-American actress Jane Fonda, Hyman told Liddy, "If anybody has earned the right to be heard on the subject of Vietnam, it's these men, who suffered such horrific abuse and unspeakable torture."
"For 31 years John Kerry has run away from that," he added.
Hyman said that while the exact format for the broadcast has yet to be determined, Sinclair has invited Kerry to give his side of the story after the broadcast.

bttt
sure have been alot of October surprises ;)
LOL
Kerry shows zero decision-making ability in everything. Take for example his choice in running mates.
Bush surrounds himself with excellence.
Kerry surrounds himself with snake oil salesmen.
I cannot get it on my DirectTV but if I go up to the 2nd floor and disconnect the dish we can bring in Fox 45 from Baltimore with antenna.........We are not close to anything else
He can run but he can't hide.
bump to the top
They don't really expect him to show (as I'm sure you know). This is just cover.
I'm completely confused: When is this going to air? Or hasn't a date been set yet? I haven't been keeping up with the news for a few days, so I'm a bit out of the loop here.
bump to the top!!!!
L.A. Area Station PLEASE!!!
Hey, it could happen.....
Thanks for the ping!
Pray for W and Our Troops
BIG BUMP! YEAHHHH!!
I hope this is AN October Surprise.
As Howie Carr put it in Winning votes, one cousin at a time:
Besides, ever since the Swift Boat Vets for Truth, Vietnam just isn't the automatic applause line it used to be. Friday night, Kerry almost forgot to mention it at all, until he found himself in the middle of his "I was an altar boy" peroration.
