There was no "testimony" from any prisoners back then. After the Vietnam Conflict everyone was just glad it was over and after almost 20 years the country could get back to "normal". Everyone just wanted to forget this terrible time in our history, perhaps only surpassed in it's divisiveness during the Civil War. Another reason it was never brought up until this time is because Kerry was a Senator from a small state, this was the first time he ever ran for a national office. Most people probably feel like me, as long as he was a Senator from Mass he wasn't hurting anyone but the people of that particular state. If they can live with someone of suspicious character as their representive then so be it. But now that he is running for President, the past certainly has some bearing on his character and it no longer concerns just the people of a small northeastern state.
