Too bad so many citizens are clueless to Kerry's significance and to Poppy Bush's level of treason.

This was one of the many times that Kerry was a patriot looking out for the good of the country and is hated for it by the rw neo con segment. (It is likely not a coincidence that many of the Iran/Contra names are leading neo cons. It has always been irritating when some, like Abrams, are quoted as experts to diss Kerry's foreign policy vision without noting that their testimony to him led to indictments. It is still galling that GHWB, who led them, pardoned them with so little uproar.

My first thought reading this was a thought that they should have waited till he was confirmed. Then, I decided that was off base - the neo cons and their allies know just what Kerry did and who he is - it is the country that really never saw this side of Kerry. If he is attacked in hearings - which he very well may be, this is one article getting the truth out ahead of time.

Amazing that some Dems are still clueless to what was laid out in Kerry's reports and side with the Cheney clones who call Kerry's revelations 'conspiracy theory' or 'creative speculation, completely ignoring the contents of the official reports submitted by Sen. Kerry.
