Kerry received Purple Heart for wounds suffered on 12/2/68...

In Kerry's own journal written 9 days later, he writes he and his crew, quote, 'hadn't been shot at yet'... Developing...

Douglas Brinkley is now saying that the diaries the Kerry Campaign still refuses to release weren't written at the time, but were instead "reconstructed" years later for a book proposal. They're setting up the defense of the first purple heart that Kerry was simply wrong when he wrote this in his "diary."

Not much of a defense. Show us the records, and explain how a PH request turned down by Hibbard was resubmitted, months later, via a different chain of command.

Kerry is working hard to keep this story in the news.

Ah, the old "I lied to my diary" excuse. Come on now, doesn't everybody do that?

Oh no! Another case of someone lying to his diary - who was the guy in the Clinton admin that claimed this?
