Smoking Gun

Captain Ed goes back to the records and finds another glaring lie in John Kerry’s Vietnam “narrative.” It turns out that David Alston, who spoke of serving under Kerry at the DNC podium, was wounded and removed from action the day before Kerry took command of Alston’s Swift Boat.

It looks like Kerry and at least some of his supportive “band of brothers” (good thing for Kerry that Stephen Ambrose is dead–otherwise Ambrose would have had plenty to say about that little appropriation) are flat making up stuff about Kerry’s service record.

This would be a major, major story… that is, if the press weren’t completely in the tank for Kerry. As it is, I doubt the story will surface outside the blogosphere. But even that might be enough…
