Re-examination of news stories and documentation relating to campaign 2004 often uncovers significant material that I had failed to take adequate note of or missed the first time around. Kerry's current attempt to resuscitate the T. Boone Pickens issue inspired a trip back to the past and, with the invaluable assistance of "Beldar" via "Links of Interest" at Swiftvets.com, led to the following rather astonishing concession by Kerry hagiographer Douglas Brinkley...

"Every American now knows that there's something really screwy about George Bush and the National Guard, and they know that John Kerry was not the war hero we thought he was," said Douglas Brinkley, the historian and author of a friendly biography of Mr. Kerry's war years, acknowledging that Mr. Kerry's opponents had succeeded in raising questions about his service.

Also admitted in an update on the New York Times site;
| Quote: | Correction: Sept. 29, 2004, Wednesday
An article on Thursday about political advertising in the presidential campaign, including a commercial that accused John Kerry of having "secretly met with the enemy'' in Paris in the 1970's, misidentified the parties with whom Mr. Kerry said he had met at the Vietnam peace talks. (The error was repeated in articles on Friday and Saturday.) The parties were the two Communist delegations - North Vietnam and the Vietcong's Provisional Revolutionary Government - with whom he discussed the status of war prisoners. He did not say he had met with "both sides." |
