I would respectfully disagree.

If Kerry received a less than honourable discharge that was pardoned or upgraded later by Jimmy Carter and/or his miltary record was otherwise whitewashed later, it proves the following:

a) Kerry is exposed as a liar again - when Kerry was campaigning for the Democratic Congressional Nomination in 1970 he claimed he was honourably dishcarged in March 1970 -see his interview with the Harvard Crimson Tide of February 18, 1970;

b) the reason for the less than honourable discharge had to be his anti-war activities whilst still a commissioned officer so clearly Kerry has gone to great lengths to cover this up because he has known from the beginning it would hurt his political ambitions; and

c) Kerry has been exposed for yet another lie - his own website is not carrying the truth about his military record.

Note to Lawrence O' Donnell - you've identified the wrong creepy liar.

When you put the meetings with the VC -- collaborating with the enemy -- with the less than honorable discharge you have a story that I would bet see-BS would stop the presses and run for the full hour on 60 minutes.

I think it's important to tie these two finds together. Combine the less than honorable discharge with the Kerry-VC Paris meetings. Kaboom.
