UPDATE: The good guys are watching and recording all that went on. This account will eventually lead to debunking although the account suggests there was little other than weeping and complaining. No real atrocities were described.
The left cannot give up its childish illusions and and so they have returned to their past with this exercise in lying propaganda. This will be debunked but the solemn coverage here shows how badly they want to go back.
Of course, John Kerry cannot escape his record of complicity in the previous “Winter Soldier” media circus. That was thoroughly debunked but it took years to track down all the phony soldiers and their lies. By that time, the story was part of the history of the war.
I wonder if the debunking will be any more effective. The public perception of the war has changed and the left hasn’t yet noticed.
Of course, they and their media friends have no interest in this report showing how Saddam’s connections to al Qeada were discounted by anti-Bush leaks and dishonest reporting. Nobody cares anymore.

Returned? They have always been there.
This anti-war event strikes me as a kind of narcissistic public therapy session.
What’s not told here is that the Iraqi insurgents, by choosing to fight from amongst the populace, is responsible for any violence on civilians. I’m surprised at the restraint of the US military. I wouldn’t be opposed to some carpet bombing campaigns.
The insurgents read our newspapers on the internet and know how to manipulate the coverage. The North Vietnamese have openly acknowledged that. In the tape, the YAF kid mentions the memorial to Kerry in Hanoi. They taught the present insurgents how to do it.
>>>>…know how to manipulate the coverage.
Yes indeed. It is often said our openness is a strength, but not necessarily, and we shouldn’t be stupid about it. It seems older generations understood this better, e.g. WWII.
