Senator John Kerry, a decorated battle veteran, was courageous as a navy lieutenant in the Vietnam War. But he was not so courageous more than two decades later, when he covered up voluminous evidence that a significant number of live American prisoners—perhaps hundreds—were never acknowledged or returned after the war-ending treaty was signed in January 1973.

The Massachusetts senator, now seeking the presidency, carried out this subterfuge a little over a decade ago— shredding documents, suppressing testimony, and sanitizing the committee's final report—when he was chairman of the Senate Select Committee on P.O.W./ M.I.A. Affairs.

Probably true. But I don't want to go there. There were probably thousands both democrat, republican, liberal and conservative who covered up with Kerry. They felt it was best for the country that the war be over and they sacrificed a few MIA's to do it. Some things are best left alone. I don't want to revisit the attrocities committed by the American Indians or the US soldiers in the 1800's either. I don't want to go back and talk about the Japanese attrocities in WWII. I don't want to talk about the US japanese internment camps (probaby supported by a good many conservatives and liberals too.)

I suspect, and hope, this will be the subject of the next SwiftVets ad. I'll have to send them another $50 I guess, to see that there is another ad.
