Kerry's boat had sped down the river after the mine exploded under another boat. He later returned to provide assistance to the stricken boat.
So the Compost has declared that the SwiftVet's version of the story was correct - Kerry sped away after the mine on the PF3 boat and returned later. Gee, sounds like what the SwiftVets have been saying all along! and it certainly doesn't mesh with Kerry's LIEs
Also of interest:
Thurlow and other anti-Kerry veterans have repeatedly alleged that Kerry was the author of an after-action report that described how his boat came under enemy fire. Kerry campaign researchers dispute that assertion, and there is no convincing documentary evidence to settle the argument. As the senior skipper in the flotilla, Thurlow might have been expected to write the after-action report for March 13, but he said that Kerry routinely "duked the system" to present his version of events.
As I recall, O'Neill has repeatedly alleged that Kerry DID file the report for this particular episode and why they've always wanted to see that document and why Kerry refuses to release it! For much of the episode, Kerry was not in a position to know firsthand what was happening on Thurlow's boat, as
WOW!!! Who knows what Kerry's records might show. They could really prove big time that he lies if they are inconsistent with what he has said since then. We need those records and they really don't want them exposed.
