A post on the Swift Vets' forum contained the following startling announcement:
A TO THE POINT HEADS-UPI had a conversation with Bill Middendorf earlier today. Bill was the Secretary of the Navy from April 1974 to January 1978. I got to know Bill well when he was Ronald Reagan\'s Ambassador to the OAS and we worked together on support for the Contras.
Bill has agreed to publicly state that to the best of his knowledge and recollection, John Kerry was dishonorably discharged from the military and fought to have this reversed while he (Bill)was SECNAV, which Bill of course refused to do. When Carter became president, Kerry secured the honorable discharge from Bill\'s successor.
The OTH (Other Than Honorable)discharge story has been out for a while, but for a former Secretary of the Navy to confirm it is major news. WorldNetDaily will be headlining it, as should the Washington Times tomorrow, and possibly Drudge. For some reason, Drudge, whom Jerry Corsi (coauthor of Unfit for Command) just talked to a few minutes! ago, is resisting. I also gave the story to Neal Cavuto at Fox.

If this is true, it could be a dream come true for our side.
Let's hope it's real and that it comes in time to have some effect.
The fact he is in his mid eighties and has no documents makes the entire thing a bit moot. IMO
This is why the Swifties would not get involved. There is no there, there that will go anywhere but a embarassment.
Probably too late to affect the voting, but at least it might finally be out there.
I'm sorry, but keeping John Kerry from becoming president is one hell of a lot more important than any "violation of privacy". If this person has first-hand knowledge and fails to act, then he is as bad as Kerry.
"The fact he is in his mid eighties and has no documents makes the entire thing a bit moot. IMO"
If he has "first hand knowledge" then no documents are needed. The fact that he is in his mid-eighties means zip as regards his testimony.
Won't make one bit of difference. We could have definite PROOF that Kerry is an axe murderer and that won't change any of the left's minds! In their minds, Bush is the demon and Kerry their savior.
Mark Levin spoke about it last night. But, it is probably too late. However, impeachment, if, God forbid Kerry is elelected, is a definite recourse.
Apparently, they have been working him like a mule.
He is not going to be the one. I am quite sure that all those comments were made to him.
For some, there are bigger things than personalities, and I cannot bring myself to criticize his decision. I can only be disappointed.
This isn't about personalities---it is about allowing a proven traitor to possibly become President of the USA---the very country he betrayed. THAT is about the biggest issue I can think of of a political nature. The only bigger issue would be another actual physical attack on US territory.
If this ex-officer KNOWS that Kerry got a "less-than-honorable" discharge, and fails to come forward with the information, the he is as big a traitor to his oath to the USA as Kerry ever was.
The same goes for any OTHER individuals with this knowledge.
Could any comments be less useful than too late comments? This might have been significant a month ago. Now it is just noise.
While agree that Kerry is a traitor and scum, it does not follow that illegal acts be entertained to defeat him.
The proof would be negated, and the whistle blower law would be ineffective in this instance.
I don't want to belabor this point further. We are not getting any closer to destroying Kerry.
