I've been avoiding most of this latest round of Kerry-hate and rebuttal;
but I am a bit uninformed as to when these supposed lies took place. Are
you talking about the better-known Fulbright hearing on 4/22/71, or was
there another time he testified under oath about this stuff?

Joel,

At this point in time, I don't remember which hearing it was. I just
remember watching his testimony on, I believe, CNN and staring at the tube
in disbelief upon hearing him swear to what I knew to be lies.

CNN made its first broadcast on June 1, 1980.

I have no doubt that Kerry testified to stuff that sounded
unbelievable at the time, because it *was* unbelievable that our
government would lie to us, that the war wasn't going as we were told,
that our boys in uniform could commit atrocities; but everything he
said in the Senate hearing that day was true and subsequently
validated as the facts became known. The whole swiftboating issue of
lies and distortions is far larger than we'll ever solve here with
discussion or facts; but at least one facet is thus far clear:
Kerry's televised testimony before the Senate hearing was factually
correct. He did not lie under oath at that hearing.
