To borrow your argument, if Kerry did indeed lie under oath
before Congress why wasn't he ever prosecuted for perjury ?

Dave's arguement, of course, not mine, but to answer your question:
At the time he made those lies before Congress, he was just a puny-assed ex
LTjg (in the video clip wherein I saw him lying to Congress, he was not in
uniform) representing some anti-war group (Viet Nam Vets Against the War,
IIRC). Congress would have time for little else if they went after everyone
who lied to them under oath. They reserve that action for cases where the
pols can gain political traction from doing so. Going after (at the time) a
nobody like Kerry for the lies he told certainly didn't fit that agenda.
