The National Review's Alexander Rose talks about one of the OTHER Swift Boat officers who called self-admitted war criminal John Kerry out on the Dick Cavett Show about his lies before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee about the prevalence of war crimes committed by American servicemen in Vietnam .

We now get into the question - "Who do we believe, many other Swift Boat captains who were there when Kerry was, or Zippo John and some of his crew?" when it comes to the atrocities Kerry says other people were performing when he was also, according to him, busy committing war crimes (like gunning down wounded prisoners) - when he wasn't getting Bactined for one of his three Purple Heart wounds or being incredibly brave, if he did say so himself.?

When John "Do you know who I am?" Kerry talks about what other people did in Vietnam, I can hear echoes of "There I was... " (or the other traditional beginning of a war story, "This is no s--t... ").

When you think about it, the timing of the release of "The Manchurian Candidate" couldn't be better, speaking of fabricated heroism being used to buttress political chicanery....
