Well, let's see. I've yet to hear a single POW come out and say that the North Vietnamese did NOT use Kerry's testimony before the Fulbright Commission against them. NOT ONE. The 10-12 guys that were on Kerry's boat and are supporting him would have ZERO firsthand knowledge about that, since Kerry didn't testify until AFTER his 4 month "tour". Secondly, the Swifties are mostly people who were next to Kerry during his four month "tour". So you've got a basic equation here: Is it easier for 10 people who were there to be mistaken about a set of facts, or 250 people who were there to be mistaken about a set of facts?
Stolen Honor doesn't deal with the time Kerry was "in country". It deals with stuff that happened where Kerry wasn't, and that was a DIRECT result of Kerry's actions. Kerry basically poured gasoline (which I think the video showed was the result of heavily coached and fraudulent testimony at Winter Soldier) on the fire, and the POWs were the ones who got burned. "Depraved indifference", anybody?
Has ANYBODY heard ANYBODY say that Kerry's testimony was NOT used by the North Vietnamese for propaganda purposes and as a tool to further torture American POWs? And if you're beating somebody and I hand you a whip to make the beating more effective, aren't I responsible? Kerry has the blood of those dead POWs on his hands just as surely as if he pulled the trigger personally.
