POLITICS: Don't Know Much About Cambodia
Captain Ed, who's been one of the blogosphere's All-Stars lately, notes a Washington Post article that puts the final nail in John Kerry's claims to have a "memory . . . seared -- seared -- in me" of making an illegal border crossing into Cambodia on a swift boat during his tour in Vietnam.
UPDATE: But one of Kerry's "Band of Brothers," Del Sandusky, is sticking by the Cambodia story.
One nitpick: I’m not sure I’d describe that WP piece as an “article” – it was on the op-ed page (amid the usual assortment of Kerry-defending pieces) and lists the author as working for the American Enterprise Institute (not exactly an impartial source).
Of course, that, in and of itself, doesn’t disprove anything either.
