Everyone fitting the profile of those testifying in the Winter Soldier Investigation "hearings" would have washed out of bootcamp and never made it into an operational unit. A cursory investigation of their backgrounds would have exposed most of them as imposters, deserters, or foreign agents, along with their connections to various Communist and other anti-American organizations. Only an audience sympathetic to their position would have believed the preposterous unsworn "testimony" that American military personnel, even draftees, had been "trained" and "ordered" to conduct themselves that way. No rational person could believe any American administration or military personnel at any level would make such practice the rule rather than the exception. The fact that John Kerry and Pitkin and some others actually were Vietnam Vets stands to their eternal disgrace to have willfully lied to slander themselves and their comrades, and to give aid and comfort to such a brutal and conscienceless enemy, diametrically opposed to all we hold sacred. They had to know their testimony would be used to rally the enemy against their own buddies still on the battelfield and to justify the torture and execution of those being held as POWs and to inspire the enemy to hold out for the eventual collapse of American resolve and the wanton slaughter of the Vietnamese and Cambodian people once we pulled out all support for their defense. Their testimony established the foundation for the self-fulfilling prophecy of an "unwinable war". A pox on all of them. To those who have apologized I say, "thanks, but where were you 30 years ago when it would have mattered? Make your public apology in front of the Vietnam Memorial, film it, and make it as convincing and of the same length as your 'testimony'."

(..."after further review from the booth", my conscience reminded me that I have been forgiven of a lot of things for which I am not proud, and not all of them done while I could claim the excuse of being "young and immature". Steve Pitkin has come forward to set the record straight, and that should be acceptable to anyone who has a dog in this fight. If Scott Swett says you're OK, that's good enough for me, Steve. John Kerry, do YOU have anything to say?)

Sadly, the same scenario is being played out again today in the war against terrorism, and by many of the very same people. All that's left is Winter Soldier Investigation II -- maybe 60 minutes will hold it.

Guess the Boston Globe hasn't heard that that testimoniant has come out with the truth and come over from the dark side!

LOL! I freakin' love it!

Sure didn't "vet" this little snippet, did they?

Thank you, Steve Pitkin!

This is absolutely priceless. Anyone have a "clip" of Steve's appearance at yesterday's rally? Both his presentation and his affidavit should be brought to the attention of every media outlet carrying the Globe story.

I thought PT109 was made after Kerry, oops, Kennedy was elected President. Shows incredible and incredulous foresight on Kerry's part,
this guy's been plotting, planning, decieving, and lying for over thirty years to get to where he is now. Kerry is the original Bogus Man.

Was Pitkin's affidavit ever published in the MSM?

Sounds like it is time to write the Globe again! I am sure it won't be published, but hey maybe someone with some sense there will read it.
Pitkin has done numerous on air interviews, has even been mentioned on Fox News. I do not think you should hold your breath waiting for the MSM to print his recanting and explanation of how he was coerced into testifying.

As explained by Pitkin, what happened to him could have happened to anyone of us. What is important today is that he has come forward and spoke of what really was happening back then. Of course, he catches all hell for it and the Kerry Kampf will drag him through the mud as well. Many vets also won't forgive him. But, he has the guts to stand up now and speak out.

That is tons more than Kerry is capable of doing.
