"I Knew it was Wrong"

"John Kerry's former commanding officer now retracts a statement he signed
onto at the prodding of the anti-Kerry Swift Boat Veterans that said Kerry
didn't deserve the Silver Star. It was a 'terrible mistake,' and he felt 'time
pressure' from those involved in the book, the officer says."

From the
Globe: "A key figure in the anti-Kerry campaign, Kerry's former commanding
officer, backed off one of the key contentions. 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."

"Elliott
is quoted as saying that Kerry ''lied about what occurred in Vietnam . . . for
example, in connection with his Silver Star, I was never informed that he had
simply shot a wounded, fleeing Viet Cong in the back.'"

show's how sincere the 'don't question our soldiers' crowd is! of course i don't question the soldiers, i question our leadership.
