Funny she doesn't mention that Hubbard was proven a fraud, as well as many of those Kerry claimed to have "grilled" and validated "bona fides".

"There were enough bona fides in many of these people: you saw their DD- 214s (discharge forms), you know where they'd served, you could talk to them and see the anguish -- you could cut through what was bull and what wasn't. And it was a very, very heavy, difficult kind of thing to listen to. And it was painful."

You're right that Nicosia doesn't mention Hubbard's debunking in this article. He (not she) does mention it in his book "Home To War".

I differ with you on the WSI witnesses having any proven frauds. I haven't seen any yet, although it wouldn't surprise me if some get uncovered.

Debunking the WSI would cause quite a stir.
