Lieutenant Commander George Elliott said in an interview that he had made a ''terrible mistake" in signing an affidavit that suggests Kerry did not deserve the Silver Star -- one of the main allegations in the book. The affidavit was given to The Boston Globe by the anti-Kerry group to justify assertions in their ad and book. thanx, bill "delayed incessantly by people whose prevalent qualification was an excess of free-time" Philip Atkinson questions, help?

Post #167,914 by warmachine 8/6/04 2:09:03 PM Reply	Americans want humanitarian soldiers? John Kerry's Silver Star is questioned because he is accused of shooting a fleeing, wounded, enemy soldier in the back. In a war where huge amounts of napalm and Agent Orange were dropped from airplanes, the US is concerned that an identifiable and armed enemy soldier was shot in the back? Is the US concerned that soldiers, in a hostile environment, shoot first, intimidate the rest and only use diplomacy when they're sure no one's going to shoot them? The US populace is aware that there are huge numbers of casualties in a war, most of them undeserved? Does the US expect soldiers to behave like civilian police? We should be glad John Kerry didn't shoot a civilian because of something that looked like a gun. Or am I missing something? Matthew Greet But we must kill them. We must incinerate them. Pig after pig, cow after cow, village after village, army after army. And they call me an assassin. What do you call it when the assassins accuse the assassin? They lie. They lie and we must be merciful to those who lie. - Colonol Kurtz, Apocalypse Now.
Post #167,918 by johnu 8/6/04 2:23:28 PM Reply	Reporter was commissioned to write Kerry book forward [link\|http://www.drudgereport.com/dnc89.htm\|Source] BOSTON GLOBE reporter Mike Kranish made waves on Friday by reporting "a key figure in the anti-Kerry campaign, Kerry's former commanding officer, backed off one of the key contentions." But Captain George Elliott claims the Kranish article is "extremely inaccurate" and highly misstated his actual views. Oddly, journalist Kranish has been commissioned to write the forward of the official Kerry-Edwards campaign book -- just as he is covering the campaign in an official capacity as a journalist for the BOSTON GLOBE!
