I bet he was secretly married in Cambodia.

Notice how they gloss over the idea that 'the navy' wrote the after action report.

[jbwbubba]

This is the most ridicuous thing I have ever heard of. Lets go to Vietnam and just find someone that knows about John Kerry.

[crazyhorse691]

Total male cowdroppings. ABC is insulting our intelligence.

[TeleStraightShooter]

I wonder if this will be simular to that VC interviewed by AP this summer.

I doubt it will be about the village that Lurch put a zippo lighter to.

[angkor]

$20 would buy the VC version of "the truth."

Also it's not credible that Nightline got to interview these people without the direct oversight of the CP. That's not the way Hanoi operates.

[Ditto]

They've already changed the caption. No more "wedding ring."

No kidding! About 15 minutes after I posted. ABC must be monitoring us instead of hiring fact-checkers. Those sly corporate types sure do know how to cut costs by outsourcing. ;~))

[sgtbono2002]

So I guess its ok by the Dems for ABC to broadcast their propaganda , but it isnt ok to show "Stolen Valor"?

[xtinct]

I'm guessing this ABC birdbrain thinks we're going to buy anything ABC says after the Mark Halpern memo...chuckle.

Additionally, Halpern's dad is best buds with Soros...

[FlJoePa]

At least we finally get to meet "V.C. the Flying Dog"!

What a bunch of utter horse manure this story is. Do they think we are friggin' idiots?

[oh8eleven]

Nightline traveled to Vietnam and found a number of witnesses who have never been heard from before, and who have no particular ax to grind for or against Kerry. Only one of them, in fact, even knew who Kerry is. The witnesses, all Vietnamese, are still living in the same villages where the fighting took place more than 35 years ago. A Nightline producer visited them and recorded their accounts of that day.

I ain't believing this horsecrap for one minute. Viet-f'in-nam had been at war for years and years and these villagers remember this one freakin' day? One "actually" also remembers Kerry? My BS detector is off the scale, gone - outta' sight!

[TheLurkerX]

Seems to go against both stories, but the Swifties more than Kerry. Just serves to muddy the water. Thanks ABC.

Wouldn't it be nice if: ABC talked to a number of Swiftboat Veterans for Truth, who DID have a righteously-indignant ax to grind, many of whom knew Kerry, living with the facts that took place over 35 years ago. A Nightline producer SHOULD visit with them and record their accounts of that day.

Veni, Vidi, VD

[small voice in the wilderness]

BWHAHAHAHAHA!!! That's IT!

[moonman]

Put some arms and a chest on that boy!

[clintonh8r]

Obviously pro-sKerry or the Halperin Broadcasting Corporation wouldn't be running it.....

[RightthinkinAmerican]

Nah, they're not interested of honorably serving US vets.

[clintonh8r]

"sKerry and I swam up the Mekong River buck naked carrying 80 pounds of gear, with K-Bars clenched in our teeth. I'll never forget the night he saved the hamster. Later, we killed Col. Kurtz and were married in a lovely ceremony in Bangkok."

[Primetimedonna]

Is it just me, or does it seem odd to anyone else that ABC is going more in depth with coverage of Kerry's 4 months in VietNam than all of their coverage on the Iraq War!!! No one at ABC seems concerned to getting at the real truth of what's going on to support George Bush's claims!!
