Kerry Pressing Swiftboat Case, Long After Loss By KATE ZERNIKE
John Kerry starts by showing the entry in a log he kept from 1969: "Feb 12: 0800 run to Cambodia."
He moves on to the photographs: his boat leaving the base at Ha Tien, Vietnam; the harbor; the mountains fading frame by frame as the boat heads north; the special operations team the boat was ferrying across the border; the men reading maps and setting off flares.
"They gave me a hat," Mr. Kerry says. "I have the hat to this day," he declares, rising to pull it from his briefcase. "I have the hat."
Three decades after the Vietnam War and nearly two years after Mr. Kerry's failed presidential bid, most Americans have probably forgotten why it ever mattered whether he went to Cambodia or that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth accused him of making it all up, saying he was dishonest and lacked patriotism.
But among those who were on the frontlines of the 2004 campaign, the battle over Mr. Kerry's wartime service continues, out of the limelight but in some ways more heatedly — because unlike then, Mr. Kerry has fully engaged in the fight. Only those on Mr. Kerry's side, however, have gathered new evidence to prove their case.
The Swift boat group continues to spend money on Washington consultants, according to public records, and last fall it gave $100,000 to a group that promptly sued Mr. Kerry, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts, for allegedly interfering with the release of a film that was critical of him.
Some of the principals behind the Swift boat group continue to press their claims.

I hadn't heard that, interesting.
Been pinged to this yet?
We are, of course, going to be forced to reactivate all our John Kerry files for 08. Though I doubt he survives their primary again.
Thanks for posting this. I had heard/read about it, but I neither watch or even own a TV, so I miss things like this.
This O'Donnell fellow is a cohost of that show? His performance is beyond embarrassing. His style of journalism is better suited to the old Soviet Union under Stalin.
After having just watched that, I think I'll buy a copy of "Unfit for Command".
John Kerry starts by showing the entry in a log he kept from 1969: "Feb 12: 0800 run to Cambodia."
He claimed to have Spent Christmas in Cambodia, so Feb 12 is not Christmas. so...he is a stinking Liar.
His whole Life is based on Lies.
Who would want this Scumbag as their leader? He's a "waffler" And when in Vietnam..he borrowed a flak jacket from a marine and then filmed himself walking through a village that others fought in. staging his future campaigns??
He is a Pompous Worlock from an Arrogant race of gasbags
he expected to be "Crowned" president.
And was "Kicked to the Curb" like a cheap Tart.
Now that Spoiled Brat is whining...still.
He sold out his band of brothers.
and the Swift Boat vets are the heros.
John Kerry is Vietnam's "Bitch"
And Madame Binn's "House Boy"
IMHO.
thanks again for what's really a public service. It's important the world see the Nazi storm-trooper tactics of the liberals and their allies.
New York Times reporter Kate Zernike
Gee...3 "Sexed-up" Storys in a row...
yes She is New York Times material....
Wow. Lurch is more hung up on The Hat than I ever thought possible. Crazy as a rabid squirrel.
Talking about Purple hearts...
A Guy who used to remove toxic wast from my shop was a marine in Vietnam...he said his unit would not accept a Purple heart unless they lost a Limb. any lesser wound was not enough for them... Thats a War Hero.
Kerry is a Malingering Self-inflicting Blue-Boy in short pants...
and Red-Vietnam's "house-boy"
IMHO.

It's mid November nineteen seventy one
A major confrontation, friends, was said to have begun
Some vets had done some planning...they were getting really sore
They would move to the next level in attempts to stop the war
The FBI had been watchin' 'em in action
They're gettin' real scary...what's the next thing they would do?
In Kansas City would the plot gain traction
Would senators see pearly gates before the year was through?
A young John F. Kerry had been telling great big lies
U.S. troops pulled off mass murder, that should come as no surprise
They're killing for pleasure and were zapping testicles
Before the U.S. Congress he was spreading all that bull
The FBI had been watchin' 'em in action
They're gettin' real scary...what's the next thing they would do?
In Kansas City would the plot gain traction
Would senators see pearly gates before the year was through?
Back in Vietnam there were some men held by the Cong
They were undergoing torture...that side thought it wasn't wrong
They used John's words...and for the men it's really rough
John F. Kerry, you're a traitor...we have really had enough
The FBI had been watchin' 'em in action
They're gettin' real scary...what's the next thing they would do?
In Kansas City would the plot gain traction
Would senators see pearly gates before the year was through?
Scott Camil had been screamin' "It's time we were votin'!
Are you with or against us...we must know where you all stand"
John told them no and gave his resignation
'Cause after all, you know, that a career had been well-planned
He's hidden the record and hoped we would not find out
But Tom Lipscomb found the story...we know what John's all about
A lesson Kerry learned is now becoming evident
If you are whacking senators, you can't be president
The FBI had been watchin' 'em in action
They're gettin' real scary...what's the next thing they would do?
In Kansas City would the plot gain traction
Would senators see pearly gates before the year was through?
Scott Camil had been screamin' "It's time we were votin'!
Are you with or against us...we must know where you all stand"
John told them no and gave his resignation
'Cause after all, you know, that a career had been well-planned
Feb 12: 1330 observed B-2 stealth bomber attack on civilians.
Feb 12: 1600 listened to new Beatles CD."
Feb 12: 1640 got briefcase out, put on The Hat.
Feb 12: 2100 thought about rich widows, took a shower. The Hat was present.
They need to interview The Hat.
Feb 12: 1130 e-mailed progress rpt to to Pres Nixon.
E-MAILED????????? LATE 60s/EARLY 70s
I can't imagine that all those officers who worked in and around Kerry's unit would all be liars. The odds of that happening are in the outer limits of numbers. Yes, there were some contradictions but Kerry himself solicited favorable responses from some as a setup before his announced running for President. Just as he manufactured his battles, his wounds, his after action reports (his buddies conveniently didn't see them at the time)his medals, his journals and almost every other aspect of his life, he craftfully got endorsements from some who didn't think a good word would matter until they found out he was running.
This Kerry guy is as phony and plastic as one can be. Even his discharges (suspiciously several under different administrations) is suspicous. His medals and request for replacements is suspicous. His trip to Paris while an officer is suspicious. His FBI record which is not released is suspicious. He was at the meeting discussing killing U.S. Senators but without the complete FBI record we're at a stall. His whole life is suspicious and this jerk wants to be commander in chief? Give me a break.
I sent them money a month ago. That POS Kerry is trying to bankrupt them in courts.
I sent money on that request also and will continue to send them money until Kerry is no longer a possible candidate AND until the jerk holds no public office anywhere.
John Kerry should be in Leavenworth Prison, not in the U.S. Senate or anywhere close to government.
