ord33, the link was great. Thanks. I agree with one of the author's many sentiments. Namely, that Kerry should make another statement clarifying what went on during those meetings. There are a number of very concerning, but circumstantial, allegations that he makes which should be verified or put to rest.

I also appreciated also the author's "full disclosure". I find that so-often to be lacking in on-line sources.

Paidila, here is the transcript from the latest SBVT ad.... I think it lays out in a pretty powerful manner how that Kerry betrayed those who were left behind. His own words are from his 1971 testimony before congress...

Hey all,

I just noticed someone changed my posting on page 1 of this forum to read the opposite of what I wrote. Honestly, I appreciate the discussion but free speech is impossible to have with this type of revisionism. This is simply ridiculous.

Would you please change it back?

Before the change it read:

"He favorably quotes the Washington Post article I mentioned (as did you). Honestly, although there is tremendous controversy over a number of details of the Swift boat ambush, based on this article which we all seem to agree is compelling, Kerry is very brave. Noone disputes that he turned his boat around in the middle of an ambush and went back to rescue Rassman. The other vets on the river that day were quite courageous. My thanks to all of them."

This part is amazing.Since it was over 30 years ago when it was said.

As the New York Times article notes, the wives of several other POWs showed up and denounced Kerry for "'constantly using our suffering and grief' for his political ambitions." One of the angry POW wives reportedly shouted: "What office are you going to run for next?"

paideia,

I've never seen the mods change any messages so I don't know what the explanation is for your message on page one changing, but it obviously has been changed and subsequent messages in the thread prove that because they quote some of it.

The skeptic in me wonders if you edited it yourself in order to try to discredit the mods...

Paidila, if you look at my post on this page, you will see an "edited x times at blah, blah, blah by ccr".

If you look at other threads mods have edited, you will see the same.

I looked at your post and there is no edited slug.

I would say that it is likely your post was not edited by anyone.

When we edit a message, we usually write "Admin note" or "Moderator note" to preface our own comments.

Can you provide a link to the message in question?

Thanks,

Paideia,

Thanks for looking at the links, and taking the time to try to find the facts. I knew you couldnt be all that bad, you're from Knoxville after all!? DId you go to UT?

"Summarized and taken apart in the press"?? Please supply citations.

I have never seen ANY press summary of the allegations in the book, or debunking thereof. The WaPo story dealt with only one of the numerous allegations in the book

Navy3x,

It's the next-to-last message on the first page, last paragraph.

It has definitely been changed, and there is a quote from it toward the top of the second page that shows the original wording.

I don't think the mods modified it. I'm not sure who else, other than the original poster, can do so.
