You might want to check that story again. What I heard today was that the comments were from a widow of a soldier who was killed in Lynch's unit.
And actually, Bush has had a decent week. Polls have trended upwards for him, the Clarke interview was released but CBS is already planning an apology for not telling viewers that they had a financial interest in his book, the FBI confirmed John Kerry's attendance at a VVAW meeting to assassinate senators, and the 9/11 hearings have not been as politically charged as people expected. I'd say things are turning out to be about average. |

Yeah, almost feels like its getting hit almost as hard as the Nixon Admin. Too bad a great deal of the population doesn't realize it. |

Yep you're right.
I should have known better than to listen to AM radio lies.

Well that's creative slander by context-stripping ... :)

Kerry's break with VVAW came at the end of 1971 during a four-day convention for VVAW national coordinators.
The organization's minutes record that Kerry and three other fellow moderates "resigned" their posts.
But before that gathering adjourned, there was some discussion about the idea of assassinating American leaders who voted to prolong the war, said Nicosia and three veterans who attended the gathering.
Scott Camil, a Florida vet who put forward the idea, says the notion didn't get very far.
"If people considered our plans to be so bad, we would have been charged, and they would have made a big stink about it."
Camil, who was later tried and acquitted with seven other vets for plotting an assault on the 1972 Republican National Convention, said Kerry's opponents are "trying to blacken him with my brush and my ideas, and that's not fair."
Kerry, whose campaign insisted that Kerry had not been present in Kansas City until the FBI reports and VVAW minutes proved otherwise, cannot recall hearing the radical idea.
Still, Barnes and Crandell said no violent plot was seriously considered.
"I don't think any discussion amounted to more than kind of the wisecrack level, because I don't think anyone took it seriously," Crandell said.
"It's just that VVAW was an absolute anarchy," Barnes added. "Everybody had to say something about something."
By all accounts, Kerry was a moderate voice in the group, who took a grim view even of civil disobedience. Many fellow antiwar vets felt he was too traditional.
"A review of the subject's file reveals nothing whatsoever to link the subject with any violent type activity," concludes a May 1972 FBI memo about Kerry provided by his campaign.
By this time, Kerry was engaged in his second, failed run for Congress, embarking on the three-decade political career that finds him one step away from the White House.
Kerry said in his statement Monday, "I'm proud of the way I stood up for veterans when I came home from Vietnam, and proud of what we achieved as veterans speaking up for our fellow veterans who were still carrying on the fighting."

If anything, one should be concerned with the government's alleged surveillance of anti-government critics. |
