According to the Navy's Inspector General, procedures were properly
followed in awarding Kerry's medals.

You have to read between the lines and understand the ramificaitons of
reviewing decorations. If something is found to have been done in error it
will call into question all of the awards presented prior to and subsequent
to Kerry's award. That would be a very large mess that nobody wants.


Bert, if we read between the lines we see that *no* amount of evidence will
disway you guys on the radio right from your assertion that John Kerry lied,
cheated, and practically stole every one of his decorations. That's Rush
Limbaugh's story, and by Gawd you're stickin' to it.

Any evidence in the official records always seems to be wrong, written by
Kerry, or part of a service-wide, administrative coverup of tens of thousands
questionable awards, (and Kerry is probably responsible for as well).
