A tip o' the debunkin' hat to aspiring CPO Belisaurius:

The View From the Boat Judith Droz Keyes (NY Times, late shift, 8/26/2004)

To: conservative in nyc

The first time Judith Droz Keyes attended a Democratic National Convention it was 1968, and she never made it inside.

She was among the throngs of anti-war protesters who were pummeled outside the convention by the Chicago police. An officer on a horse struck Keyes on the head with his baton, she says. At the time, her husband was serving in Vietnam as a swift boat officer, in the same squadron as John Kerry. Eight months later, Keyes' husband died, spurring her to become more active in the anti-war movement. That's where she met Kerry.

Where's the letter? Given her background, why should I believe her?
