Later in the testimony, he allows that he may have stepped over the line, but pleads lamely that Sen. Joe McCarthy did it too and didn't get caught. Oh? And what peace conference did McCarthy attend?

3. Finally, why hasn't anyone ever asked for Kerry's recollections of this fascinating brush with history? I'd love to hear what Le Duc Tho told Kerry. "You know, you gotta win this one" and replace that "lying crook" Nixon, etc.

Paul Beston's claim that all agree John Kerry did not participate in the Vietnam Veterans Against the War executive-board discussion at Kansas City in November 1971 of a proposed VVAW plan to kill seven U.S. Senators is flat wrong.

There is no record that he resigned because of the assassination proposal or that he called a cop.
