the documentary record

The past three bus rides have been spent re-reading John Kerry's 1971 testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

I am utterly astonished by the fact that some have called that testimony traitorous at worst and un-brotherly at best. Later, I'd like to post a more thougtful response (at the very least, much should be said about the -- surprise! -- ways Kerry's and Senator Fulbright's observations might easily apply to Mr. Bush's dangerous folly in Iraq). For now, only the most basic, the most unadorned, will do: those who call that testimony improper would be well served by more attentive reading.
