Yep, and the more Americans who believe the, the better.
Bush & Co's attempts to run down Kerry because he saw something he
didn't like and protested about it should fall on deaf ears.

IMHO, for he most part, it is. Only Bush's core of "true believers" are
buying it. It seems that their campaign of character assassination
worked so well against McCain and Gore that they don't know any other
way to campaign.


Denial that torture and murder by US and Allied soldiers occurred in
Vietnam is pretty lame after we see that it is happening in Iraq.

Are they still denying it? I thought Bush went on Al Jazeera to explain
that he regretted it "(they denied apologizing), that it was against
American law and official policy, and that the perpetrators would be
punished (prob'ly not by being sent to the Guantanamo Bay Cuba camp,
though).

BTW I saw a news clip on McCain the other day, talking briefly about his
time as a POW and he said something to the effect that the men he was
held POW with were a great help and support, and that many men had it
worse than him. Since he was the senior officer POW, and was singled out
for additionally brutal treatment, that seemed like a noble thing to
say. It's a shame that the far right fringe managed to cut him out in
the 2000 election.
