You'll pardon my cynicism, but someone who has been here about a month highlighting "Former Secretary of the Navy" as a scurrilous attempt to insinuate God-knows-what has zero credibility with me.

You expect us to think that the current Secretary of the Navy has first hand knowledge of what happened 35 years ago? Get real.
If you want to sway certifiable idiots, I suggest you post on DU.

LOL I posted what was over at the Swift Vets site from the link at the top of the article. The quote said "the Former Secretary of the Navy," genius. You not only got the attribution wrong, but also the quote.

Maybe you ought to ask me what I meant since you concede you have no idea. Shooting first and asking question later gives you not much credibility with me, unless you're trying to convince me that you're overly excitable.

The point of highlighting "Former Secretary of the Navy" was to call to the attention of the folks I pinged that if the rumor holds up, the account can't be taken lightly. Do you have a problem with that? Leave them mind-reading to Kreskin.
