Interesting passage here in NewsMax's coverage of John O'Neill's news conference today. If any of their minions bother to read a little over halfway down, they'll see this:
O'Neill told NewsMax.com that the medals and their back stories were not the real issue being targeted by the organization, referring to the second paragraph of the letter to Kerry:Because sliming doesn't need a smoking gun or facts. All it needs is like-minded slimy people who are willing to do anything a fear-mongering administration tells them to do. Gutless. Ballless. Backstabbers. A disgrace to the uniform they claim to represent.
"It is our collective judgment that, upon your return from Vietnam, you grossly and knowingly distorted the conduct of the American soldiers, Marines, sailors and airmen of that war (including a betrayal of many of us, without regard for the danger your actions caused us.) Further, we believe that you have withheld and/or distorted material facts as to your own conduct in this war."
But it is with regard to the latter sentence of the charge that O'Neill and others get vague.
When asked by NewsMax if they had in mind any potential smoking gun of distortion that might be revealed by an unfettered examination of Kerry's military records, there was no answer forthcoming.
As we're saying about the Iraq prison atrocities, thank God not all our troops are this heinous.
