It looks like a very good idea, actually.

In the article:

Kerry told Fox News in March he had no regrets about his service or his protest. "Now, if some veterans still can't accept that or they don't like the fact that I stood up and spoke my mind, I respect them, that is their choice," he said ... On Sunday, the Kerry campaign's veterans organizer, John Hurley, said in an interview on Fox News Sunday that Kerry stands by his claims in 1971 before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that U.S. soldiers in Vietnam regularly, and as a matter of official policy, committed war atrocities against innocent civilians.

My response, excerpted from http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=14757

What a terrible hostility to thought Kerry shows.

That phrase, "hostility to thought itself," comes from the great historian Robert Conquest, author of a brilliant book about totalitarianism, Reflections of a Ravaged Century.

Kerry was not someone doing something wonderful, expressing his opinions and adding to the marketplace of ideas. Yet, simply calling these people unpatriotic does not get to the heart of the problem - in fact, it can be a diversion.

Calling someone unpatriotic allows them access to the grab bag of counter-charges: McCarthyism, hostile to dissent, what makes America great is protest, censorship, etc. They immediately don the mantle of victim, and it often works. [Especially when they have the entire mainstream media on their side!]

Many with anti-American, pro-Communist allegiances may well be seen as traitors to their countries, and to the democratic culture. But their profounder fault was more basic still.

Seeing themselves as independent brains, making their choices as thinking beings, they ignored their own criteria. They did not examine the multifarious evidence, already available in the 1930s, on the realities of the Communist regimes. That is to say, they were traitors to the human mind, to thought itself."

By the way: someone has to hold Kerry accountable for his claims.

Where's the evidence, Mr. Kerry John F.?
