"Good find! The archived article referenced in the thread referenced for this post has "expired" on MSNBC though. Maybe the more resourceful out there will be able to find it through a search on MSNBC but I was not. If I were "paranoid", I might think there was a bias in the media towards Kerry......................hmmmm.....hehe"
The SUPREME IRONY of all of this is that this interview is being sent around by the Vietnam Veterans Against The War!
If you go to the link I gave as a source, you'll see this:
"Date: Thu, 17 May 2001
From: Vietnam Veterans Against the War
xx600@prairienet.org Subject: John Kerry on Vietnam Atrocities
From VVAW's mailbox to all on VVAWNET and VVAWINC:
[Looks like Kerry has begun his presidential 'retooling' for 2004--jtm]

If you go to the link I gave as a source, you'll see this:Yes, I know. That's what I was talking about earlier: the link http://stacks.msnbc.com/news/568894.asp is either broken or expired, according to MSNBC. I tried searching their Archives under "'Meet the Press' May 6, 2001" and other variants, but nothing came up.
Of course I don't doubt that this is a real quote. I have 0 problems with believing that Ketchup Boy would say such a thing, and then retract it as "slick" as he did in the MTP from May 6th 2001. I was just hoping someone on FR here would be a better 'searcher' than me, and maybe be able to find it on MSNBC after all. Going into this election, unless something is sourced EXACTLY, the more virulent left wingers won't accept this as "truth". No biggie of course, but as great as this find is, it would be AWESOME if it could be found on MSNBC.
Keep up the good work.
