hanna,

Oh dear, that might have been me Twisted Evil

You see, I was a USAF Comminications Intelligence officer once upon a time before I got out (Clinton) and earned my degree. I fisked Kerry's after action reports and reported on Beldar's blogs that Kerry almost certainly wrote the last spot report based on the classification of the message, the wording of the message and how it was at varience with standard naval usage, and the GENSER coding on the message head.

Of course I might be giving myself too much credit....but I think that Kerry doesn't want evil Swifties from looking at his stuff any more.

I sw your post pointing out the possible messing with the records.......but for whatever reason, now you have to give name, address, phone number, e-mail address, the whole bit:))) Gee I wonder what he has to hide???

With regard to the authorship of the March 13 after action report, the most telling reason I think Kerry wrote it is that the damage report lists the PCF-94 boat and hull number for the PCF-3 damage.

He knew this was his last shot. He knew he was headed out with his 3rd PH, and this was his last chance to pad the record for the future.

Molon,

Good Catch! This happened in communications protocols all the time. One of the most common errors for a new operator to make using a teletype would be to use the wrong genser code. That's because they got used to the one at their last station. I bet you that's what happened here. Kerry instinctively used his own PCF designation out of habit.

Polaris did you send that info to people like Brit, Rush, Hannity, etc?

Hanna,

I will. However, I doubt they will use it. Why? Because while it is solid analysis, in the end it is STILL speculation. As I said elsewhere, this is not something that I could attest to in a court. That said, as an analyst, I would be hightly confident (75%+). Remember (as any Intell puke will tell you) that ultimately all analysis involves some speculation and outright guessing....and bias can influence that and I am biased and I admit it.

True, but even a seemingly insignificant piece of information can cause something to click when matched with another piece of information that someone else has and wala you soon have a whole story.

I must have caught that before they put that enter link under the form. It was not there last night when I went there.

I assume someone has downloaded these documents before they disappear or 'change' ? I believe I read somewhere in these boards that some docs were pulled off the site.
