| WashPost carry Op Ed on Kerry's Cambodia Lie |
| 2004-08-24 |
| EFL Kerry's Cambodia Whopper By Joshua Muravchik Most of the debate between the former shipmates who swear by John Kerry and the group of other Swift boat veterans who are attacking his military record focuses on matters that few of us have the experience or the moral standing to judge. But one issue, having nothing to do with medals, wounds or bravery under fire, goes to the heart of Kerry's qualifications for the presidency and is therefore something that each of us must consider. That is Kerry's apparently fabricated claim that he fought in Cambodia.... The WashPost has published letters to the editor about Kerry's Cambodia lie (or lies since he repeated it many times) and now published an op ed but still hasn't reported the Kerry Lie as news. |

| #2 I should add that even though they have yet to report the Cambodia lie, the WashPost does have an editorial also on it at: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A27343-2004Aug23.html also, Slate has a rebuttal claiming the lie might be a true (the Slate author doesn't seem to realize the Kerry camp has already abandoned this position) at: http://www.slate.com/id/2105529/ |

| #1 "matters that few of us have the experience or the moral standing to judge..." Right, like that's ever stopped the MSM from trashing the US military. |
