Nat Hentoff’s welcome voice once again joins the blogosphere’s chorus asking, ‘What is John Kerry hiding?‘
Referencing an August 23rd Washington Post article by Michael Dobbs (buried in the print edition but available here), Hentoff writes:
What I find strange is that Dobbs writes that “Kerry himself was the only surviving skipper on the river then who declined a request for an interview.”
Why did more than 250 Vietnam veterans testifying in O’Neill’s “Unfit for Command” make themselves vulnerable to a libel suit by Kerry, which, if they lost, could do great damage to their careers and incomes? After all, in such a suit, both sides would have to testify under oath. Are they all liars for Bush?
