A mystery to me, knowing that John Kerry carried a movie camera with him - I would think that if there was any validity to his allegations that he and others participated in war crimes and attrocities - that he would have supported his charges that he made before congress in 1971 with some shocking film footage - but, no - not even a snapshot! When one applies the "thorn" of sound principles of investigation to the "baloon" of Kerry's rhetorical claims - at every turn it is discovered that he is just full of hot air!

I feel that if JK was so adamant about documenting his alleged triumphs with filmed reenactments of the events, then how could he fail to simply document the exact day of his life turning experience in Cambodia? We're talking about a guy who went through the trouble to get his crew and boat involved with telling one story, yet he never made a simple and accurate note in his journal regarding a historical and controversial event like secretly entering another country with troops and arms? I mean...the guy sat in front of congress with what turns out to be inaccurate information, and later tells it again in an interview, and yet all we get from him are digitally enhanced reenactments of things he wants the public to believe is true. Where are his eye witnesses from his Cambodia experience, and where were these guys when he repeatedly told the public that he was there on Christmas and not sometime in January? This guy is turning out to be a legend in his own mind....

As far as the alleged atrocities are concerned, he has a lot of nerve criticizing the President for what happened in the prisons of Iraq when he never attempted to bring to justice the soldiers who he said committed crimes against the people of Vietnam. I can assure you that if these same atrocities were happening in Iraq, he'd call for everyone involved from the Privates to the Generals, to be on trial. And of course...he'd blame Bush too. Obviously these atrocities never occurred.

And did he document any of his wounds with his camera?

A movie of Kerry's butt with rice embedded in it? EEEEWWWWWWWW!

Probably he would need an electron microscope to see his wounds.

The whole movie camera thing is just WEIRD.

I don't know about the Navy, but sometimes the troops love a 2LT that will screw around and will let them do likewise. Meanwhile, all the other LTs in the unit are rolling their eyes and shaking their heads. Maybe the movie camera re-enactments were fun for a couple of those guys that "actually served with Kerry on the same boat" and that appeared at the Democratic Convention.

What frightens me is the implication that Kerry may have taken his people back into dangerous territory just for the purpose of making home movies.

Brinkley claims Kerry filmed to boster his case against the war.If this is true why didn't he show the Senate his films?

On the Cavett show, Kerry also showed films he shot in Vietnam, explaining the video, saying, saying, “You see a bunker being taken under fire. In fact, we’re under fire at this point and you can see some shots coming out, landing in the water.” He added, “Just after this I put the camera down. I had a feeling we were gonna be ambushed… and sure enough up ahead we were. And you’ll see it.”

Brinkley says Kerry compiled material to bolster his case against the war, telling Cavett, “I took these pictures in a moment of confusion,” explaining, “There you see the huts burning, and this, this is the enemy, so to speak, in South Vietnam.”

Kerry told Cavett, “I was constantly struck by the juxtaposition of those of us running around with guns and the body lying there in the field. There you see the huts burning.”

Good point, and how many other soldiers took actual "movie" pictures?
