    The Boston Globe ^ | August 20, 2004 | Patrick Healy and Michael Kranish
    For nearly two weeks, Senator John F. Kerry had refrained from commenting directly on the crescendo of attacks on his Vietnam War record. The work was being left to campaign aides, who were scrambling to control the escalating damage being done by a television ad and a book that alleged that Kerry had lied about his combat service and did not deserve his medals. Then, Wednesday night, Kerry told his aides that he had to act. As he sat down inside his Louisburg Square home on Beacon Hill, Kerry scrawled two phrases on a yellow legal pad about his antagonists,...

    This morning I e-mailed the Senate Historian's office and asked "Could you please send me a list of senators who have served on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence over the last 15 years, including who has served as Chairman and Vice Chairman of that committee over those years?" I just received their response in the form of pdf file that included all select committee assignments from the 101st (1989-1990) through the 108th (2003-2004) Congresses. Bob Kerrey first shows up on the committee during the 103rd (1993-1994) Congress. He assumes the Vice Chairman position during the 104th (1995-1996) and continues...
  • Claim removed from Kerry site

    Charlotte Observer ^ | 8/19/04 | AP
    WASHINGTON - In news releases and postings on John Kerry's campaign Web site as recently as last Friday, the Democratic presidential candidate is touted as the former vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Kerry was not vice chairman and the claim has now been removed from Kerry's Web site. According to the Senate Historical Office, Kerry never had the seniority to hold a leadership position on the committee -- though he was a member from 1993 until 2001. The Kerry campaign says the claim was an error, but did not explain who made the error or how...

    Kerry Campaign Explains Bob Kerrey Mixup AP - 1 hour, 16 minutes ago John Kerry, Bob Kerrey. It's easy to get confused. At least that's how the Kerry campaign is explaining claims that Kerry — the Democratic presidential candidate — served as vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Oops. Make that Bob Kerrey — the former Democratic senator from Nebraska who did serve as the panel's vice chairman. (snip) It's difficult to take John Kerry's claims about his intelligence experience seriously when one of his credentials is completely made up," said Republican National Committee (news - web...

    John Kerry Confuses Himself With Bob Kerrey Of course John Kerry is afraid to run on his left-wing Senate record, but does that mean he should pose as a colleague?

    Tonight on Fox News I heard something (while I was on the phone) about the Kerry campaign claiming that Johnny boy attended certain Intelligence Committee meetings or something, mistaking him in their claims for "Bob" Kerry, who actually attended those meetings. They looked really foolish, or so it seemed, but I did not catch it all. Can someone fill me in?

    Fox News just had a news segment where the Kerry campaign, in angry response to Bush claims that Kerry attended few Intelligence briefings, said that Kerry had at one time been the Vice-Chairman of the Intelligence campaign. In response, the Bush people gleefully (Fox's word) returned fire by saying that it was BOB Kerrey, not JOHN Kerry who was Vice-Chairman of the Intelligence committee.

    Sandy Who? Two weeks ago, Republicans were filled with glee, as Democrats fell all over themselves, trying to diminish the fact that Bill Clinton’s former national security adviser, Samuel Berger, better known as Sandy, was caught stuffing classified documents and national secrets down his drawers, in his jacket, in his socks, and in a leather portfolio, in order to steal them from the National Archives, and to later destroy some of them. (Berger returned some documents, but only after he was caught, and had “accidentally” destroyed the most important ones.) Note that Berger reportedly burgled the Archives on as many...

    The former Navy personnel who are attempting to discredit Sen. John Kerry's record of service in Vietnam are doing so to argue that he is unqualified to be commander in chief. Most appear to be angry with him on account of his opposition to the Vietnam War, not his service in it. They have done a better job of damaging the reputation of the U.S. Navy than they have of damaging John Kerry.Moreover, they ignore what I consider to be the most important qualities any commander in chief must possess. If elected in November, John Kerry will make an exceptionally...

    August 9, 2004 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The television ad that aroused the wrath of John McCain and journalist supporters of John Kerry just begins deconstruction of the Democratic presidential candidate's war record. "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry," a 214-page critique of his performance in Vietnam and the antiwar movement, is off the presses ahead of schedule. I have read the book and found it is neither the political propaganda nor the urban legend that its detractors claim. It is a passionate but meticulously researched account of how Kerry went to war, what he did...

    9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said Friday that he believed ex-President Bill Clinton when Clinton told the Commission he "misspoke" in a 2002 speech where he detailed an offer from Sudan to have Osama bin Laden extradited to the U.S. But Kerrey also admitted that if he or any of the other commissioners had challenged Clinton's account, it would have split the Commission along partisan lines and short-circuited efforts to keep their findings unanimous. Story Continues Below "He said that he misspoke so I believe him," Kerrey told WDAY North Dakota radio host Scott Hennen. "I choose to believe him on...

    <p>Former Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey has always struck me as the Democrats' version of John McCain. It isn't merely their Vietnam War connection, though demonstrated courage is surely a factor. When called upon to be partisan, they'll play party hardball, but don't expect national committee talking points. Both men have the maverick's spine to openly speculate and frustrate, but they usually do so with a leader's disciplined goal of constructive critique.</p>

    The Hill ^ | 06/16/04 | Geoff Earle
    Former Sen. Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.) may have committed an intelligence failure of his own. The prominent member of the commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks walked out on a high-profile interview with President Bush to meet Sen. Pete Domenici (R-N.M.). He wanted to persuade the powerful chairman of the Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee to fund the New School University — the New York institution Kerrey runs. But the school may not get anything from Congress this year; Domenici, who met Kerrey briefly April 30, told The Hill he wasn’t even aware that his former colleague abandoned the president...

    NEW YORK - The former police and fire chiefs who were lionized after the World Trade Center attack came under harsh criticism Tuesday from the Sept. 11 commission, with one member saying the departments' lack of cooperation was scandalous and "not worthy of the Boy Scouts." Former fire commissioner Thomas Von Essen and former police chief Bernard Kerik shot back with infuriated responses to John Lehman's questions, the strongest of a series of pointed statements from the panel. "I couldn't disagree with you more strongly," Von Essen replied. "I think it's outrageous that you make a statement like that." Outside...

    PBS ^ | April 2004
    In October 1969, hundreds of young people wielding lead pipes and clad in football helmets marched through an upscale Chicago shopping district, pummeling parked cars and smashing shop windows. Thus began the “Days of Rage,” the first demonstration of the Weathermen, later known as the Weather Underground. Outraged by the Vietnam War and racism in America, this group of former student radicals waged a low-level war against the United States government through much of the 1970s, bombing the Capitol building, breaking Timothy Leary out of prison and finally evading the FBI by going into hiding. In THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND, former...
