Unfortunately, key aspects of my offer of $1 million have not been accurately reported," Mr. Pickens wrote in a letter to the crewmen. "My offer, reiterated in a letter to Senator Kerry not long after the challenge was made, was to pay $1 million for information that would prove any of the ads – which I helped fund – inaccurate. In reviewing your material, none of the information you provide speaks specifically to the issues contained in the ads."
from your link.
Anyway, I'd say let the public decide, Pickens and the crewman should publish the material provided. Pickens says the info. they provided does not shed light on the swift boat issue addressed. Okay.
If he’s a poltroon, and is back sliding it will be evident.
I seem to remember that part of the issue/agreement was kerrys films, he took while on duty and his service record(?).
As to the reporter going down the river, I hope it wasn’t that river in Cambodia kerry never went down bringing back his cia gifted hat. I also seem to remember not to long ago, a high level prison guard making comments on McCain and how that proved nothing, he was a collaborator etc. So, you’ll forgive me if I don’t find testimony after 35 years from a single foot soldier, that yields one hit on google ( and not much their other than the down the river authors testimony) as presumptive proof of much.
Ad to that, as I have stated before, I always took the book by O’neill with a grain of salt, what I and many folks who followed this found egregious and truly offensive was Kerrys own testimony and lies, back tracks etc. that had zero to do with the “swift boaters”.
Add to that I must say also, goober, your concern as to getting involved in clearing a sailor, defense of such etc. is inconsistent with your views on the military and a little rich.
