Yes, JJ, same ole John Forbes, as on April 22, 1971:

I would like to talk, representing all those veterans, and say that several months ago in Detroit, we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably discharged and many very highly decorated veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command....

They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country.

Eugene McCarthy famously said last election that Kerry was not one to worry about because it was clear he believed in nothing. McCarthy was right in the end, but how is it he can believe in nothing and then say and do such political nonsense? As Boehner (I think) said during the Alito filibuster attempt, "With Senator Kerry, every day is Christmas."

Fine, then he believes in nothing and makes political miscalculations of such a magnitude that he's as welcome in his own party (I know Boehner is a Republican but the same NYT article said this) as a fart in a confessional.

His admitting this defense of a breach of security will be another baton with which to kneecap the Dems in November.

TThis leads me too think that he makes his decisions like the guy in "Brazil" with the yes/no random chooser toy.
