Yesterday a post was made stating that the gentleman you say retracted his statement actually did not retract it. Someone better get their facts straight.

Yes. But, we may have to wait until Monday, for them to correct their mistake.

I'll bet the Networks use this Factcheck web page to bolster the "facts" they broadcast this weekend. They will do that even though they know Elliot was not really recanting his statement.

If I understand correctly (thanks to what I've learned on FR) Elliot was merely making clear, in his second statement, that Kerry's and Kranish's published story says Kerry shot the young man in the back.

Elliot has no first hand knowledge of the event and is relying on Kerry's own admission for this version of Kerry's story.

Anti-Kerry Vietnam Veterans Hold Strong <-- Mash here, read all about it for yourself, and draw your own conclusions. Make sure you read the affadavits themselves. Also, read the Boston Globe stories. I don't have links to those, but there is no fee or registration required to read the August 6th article that provoked Elliott's second affidavit, or the Globe's CYA article of this morning.

Gotta love those news networks huh, start yacking about something though they know they are not telling the truth and waiting until after the weekend to admit their mistakes. They know that not as many people will be watching so they're hoping folks won't notice.
