You may have continued to follow this closer than I have, but is it really established that he resigned his leadership? Or if he did, did he do it in stealth fashion? I think the Times continued to quote him well after then as a leader in the movement, and evidently Kerry didn't bother to deny it. That would be typical of Kerry's habit of playing everything both ways.

Of course I agree with you on the main point.

He claims to have resigned earler in writing. But that document does not exist.
