Shep,
It is not reporting to accept the word of a political hack rather than the word of veterans who served at the same time in the same place on the same missions as John Kerry. Any reasonable search could provide you with plenty of eye-witness testimony that contradicts the claims of both Senator Kerry and the few veterans who support him.
Mere common sense should inform you that Kerry's history is one of telling lies to further his personal ambitions. His "war crimes" testimony before Congress is available for all to see and should prompt serious inquiry rather than blanket acceptance of what he and Democrat spokesmen say is the "truth."
Reporting consists of finding and telling the truth. You did neither. You are better than that.
Good letter Pup
