Investors Business Daily adds to the cry for Kerry to sign form 180 releasing his military records for public scrutiny. It also asks some very important questions, such as:
Did Kerry commit war atrocities? This charge would seem unduly harsh to level at someone who fought in a war more than three decades ago — except for the fact that he himself made it.
Did Kerry lie about "Christmas in Cambodia"? This is a story Kerry has repeated over and over as explanation for his later metamorphosis from decorated hero into staunch anti—war activist.
Kerry's medals. Kerry returned from his 4 1/2 month stint in Vietnam with three Purple Hearts for wounds, a Bronze Star and a Silver Star for gallantry.
But some of those who served with him cast doubt on how he earned his medals — and whether he deserved them.
From the blogosphere to newsprint, and sooner or later, even the New York Times will have to pay attention.
