I'm really starting to believe this will be Kerry's undoing.
This doesn't work.
This not only creates a divide between the Swifties and the "rest", which is what he wants, but it also concedes a divide between the Swifites and himself, WHICH IS ONE OF THE CENTRAL THESES OF THE BOOK.
He said he personally participated in violations of the Geneva Convention -- the Swifites said "not us", and now he is saying "that's right, YOU DIDN'T."
Major blunder.
This so called man is not only a traitor and a coward, he is a blubbering idiot. IMHO.
