So, it took Kerry how long to figure out how to respond to his lies about being in Cambodia? Well, he's finally found another lie to counter his earlier lies -- his trip was Top Top Secret and because it was Top Top Secret there is no documentation to support it. MY GOD --- Kerry is a worse liar than Clinton.

Read about it at -- http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/8/18/111727.shtml

Edited for following note -- If this trip was so top secret, why then did Kerry even bring it up on the Senate floor?

And if you believe it, you too, can have a decoder ring.

My understanding in the Navy field is that most Vietnam stuff
(i.e. missions, training missions, ships, boat logs et al,) have been declassified,
not everything, but most.

Hi all, this is a letter I just sent to the Boston Globe on their coverage of Kerry's Excellent Adventure. If the occasion should arise, feel free to use any part.

*****************
OK, I am no reporter, but your column on Kerry's Cambodian Adventures is somewhat lacking. You've gotten as far as repeating some of the actual claims on both sides, and that's all very good. But several rather more fruitful lines of inquiry suggest themselves to me:

Is there any evidence of illegal incursions into Cambodia during this period? How were these missions handled? Who was on the teams? What vehicles were used? Did the teams use local people or did they ever work with the Navy? Were records even kept? Who had to sign off on these things? What was the protocol?

What would make these missions risky? How great was the risk of detection? How many boats patrolled the area? What was the weather? How much moonlight was there? How densely or loosely populated are the areas along these rivers?
Were there any physical obstructions near the border, perhaps created by our Navy or perhaps by the Cambodian government? Were there guards or patrols on the border? Has anyone ever interviewed any of them?!

Had there been any events on the Cambodian border recently? Was there any special reason to take care to stay clear of Cambodian territory or was the Cambodian government completely unconcerned?

What is a Swift boat like anyway? Is it suitable for clandestine activity? Is it quiet or noisy? What depth water does it require?

What other boats were we using in that area, who operated them, and were any of them unaccounted for?

What do the records actually say for the boat that Kerry operated? Are there records of that?

What documentation is there to prove whether Kerry was at Sa Dec instead? What parts of his timeline cannot be pinned down definitively?

This is what we pay you for. Gossip I can get anywhere.

Boston,

Who exactly are you talking about paying????

Here's a link about clandestine activities and the likelihood that a Swift boat would be used for such a thing at the time Kerry served.

Do a little research and you'll find out that Swift boats have been described as sounding like a Greyhousd bus.

I was a little unclear there.
This was a letter I wrote to the Boston Globe just now.

Yes, I know the Swift boat is damned loud. I know the answers to a lot of those questions.

No thanks to my local paper

Bostonian,

How about editing your first post and adding a comment at the top that this is the letter that you wrote to the Boston Globe.

I thought you were a troll because it looked like you were addressing your comments and questions to those of us here.

Sorry 'bout that!
