If such film exists, and is being saved for the final days.....

Did Bob Dornan really say he filmed it? Can't wait! I did hear him say the wives of the POWs and MIAs want to speak out against Kerry.

I didn't see the H&C show last night, but there was a long thread on it. According to the thread, DOrnan said he tailed Kerry and the VVAW all during the day of the big demonstration on the Mall. I believe this was the day after his Senate testimony. He said he has lots of film, but I'm not sure if the film shows Kerry burning flags, or near where flags were being burned. Also, there were VC and NLF commie flags being flown.

Dobbs fails to mention that much of the testimony of the "Winter Soldiers" was discredited, that many of those testifying had not been in Vietnam or were not even veterans, and that all of them avoided helping efforts to prosecute war crime perpetrators.

Widely alleged but undocumented at this point. The Naval Investigative Service supposedly looked into the "Winter Soldier Investigation" and came to the conclusions you mention, but a spokesman for the NIS doesn't know if the NIS investigation ever took place.

Only historian Guenter Lewy claims to have seen the NIS report (or heard a summary - he can't remember which).

Better than claiming a debunking of the WSI: demand the release of the WSI witnesses' full military records now, and start the first ever investigation - today.
