| A misquoting of the Globe's biography of Kerry | |||||||||
| p. 55-6 | |||||||||
| This is a relatively insignificant misquoting. On page 55-6 of Unfit for Command O'Neill describes differences between an after-action report filed by Kerry (about an incident in which Kerry's crew killed what they later determined were probably harmless ordinary civilians who had accidentally surprized Kerry's crew by passing in front of their boat at night) and the version of the same incident contructed by Globe reporters using testimony of Kerry's crewmen and other evidence. | |||||||||
| Globe reporters, who unknowingly uncovered a critical piece of evidence, were skeptical that there could have been two such incidents. | |||||||||
| O'Neill here insinuates that Kerry tried to contend otherwise -- that he tried to mislead the Globe reporters into thinking that the incident described in the military record (an after-action report) was a different incident than one the Globe reporters learned about via other evidence. Neither Unfit for Command or the Globe biography gives any evidence whatsoever to suggest that Kerry tried to mislead Globe reporters |
