Yet for some reason, as of this writing, PBS considers Kerry's phony claims to the House Foreign Relations Committee on April 22, 1971, to be an example of greatness, including:

"They told stories that, 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 Ghengis 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."

To this day Kerry refuses to discuss the fact that "they" included men who had never even been in the military, much less Vietnam, just as he refuses to give details of his own admission that he committed "atrocities" in Vietnam.
