His quoted words in question were not delivered to Congress; he
made that statement instead on national television:


How do you know that?


Because I read the entire transcript of his testimony and did not find
the
bit about him acknowledging that he had himself supposedly committed
"war
crimes", which was the subject in question?


How do you know that transcript contained all of his statements?

You know what Steven? I am a pretty firm supporter of Bush, but your
continued catterwalling about this is beginning to make me rethink the
situation...(not really, but if this is how you handle the folks who are
anti-Kerry, then you might want to rethink your strategy or lack thereof).

Yes, it was a complete transcript of his testimony, from gavel to gavel, to
include the questioning posed to him by the committee members. If you are
really interested in reading it yourself, do a Google on "Kerry Vietnam
testimony transcript" and you should be able to find it yourself.




According to The Boston Globe he said it before the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.


Then the Globe is wrong.


Maybe. The reviewer at The Boston Globe described the work as "
well-researched biographical history". How do we know your research is
better than his?

Go and dig up your own trnscript and read it, then go and read a transcript
of his 18 April 71 "Meet the Press" interview; you will find the quote of
interest in the latter, and not the former. When you have found said
transcript, see if YOU can find the quote in question--if you do, get back
to me and I'll happily apologize (I'd be just tickled if he could be shown
to have made that statement in his testimony as well as on national TV). If
you can't you owe me one, OK? Now toodle off and do your homework and get
back to me. Stop acting as if this is the first time a newspaper has screwed
up in regards to the details. And that is all you are arguing--the details,
since I have already told you that yes, he did say it, but in a different
forum from what you though it to be.
