Did Kerry's Swift Boatmates See Atrocities?
John Kerry's "band of brothers" hasn't had much to say about his 1971 testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee where he claimed GIs in Vietnam routinely committed atrocities.
Now former CNN executive Ted Kavanau says it's high time for somebody to ask them to verify Kerry's under-oath account.

The would-be commander in chief claimed that American soldiers, "personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, [blew] up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in a 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. ..."
Surely Del Sandusky, Jim Rassman or any of the other members of Kerry's crew who stood with him on the stage of Boston's Fleet Center last week must remember seeing some of this, Kavanau tells NewsMax - if indeed it was as commonplace as Kerry alleged.
If no one from Kerry's crew can recall seeing the war crimes that the Democratic nominee so vividly described, did Kerry knowingly give false testimony before Congress?
