Steve Gardner was on Scarborough Country this week and held up a one page document which he says refers to Kerry's misrepresenting the facts in this report about an encounter with a sampan on 1/20/69. If my memory serves right, he says this was a document "not yet released to the public" that shows Kerry had reported 4 VC KIA and 3 CIA, when it was in fact a woman and child taken aboard, with perhaps 1 VC KIA, blown overboard, and a small boy killed. Gardner said Kerry failed to spot the sampan on the radar and let it approach too close to his boat, so Gardner had no choice but to open up on the man who went for his AK-47.
My question: is this document available somewhere? Anybody know?
The Kerry response chorus has this mantra about only crew members on Kerry's boats have a right to talk, so I look forward to see how they plan to spin this one.

larrygj,
I think you can find what you are looking for in this link. It contains the After action reports for January (which johnkerry.com had up, but then curiously removed), so the 20 Jan. 1969 incident Mr. Gardner is describing should be included
