John Hardly, I didn't mean to imply that the Republicans are behind the Kerry exposure. I don't think they are. I think some reporter saw an opportunity for an expose`. It may have even been brought to his/her attention by the one member of Kerry's squad whose story does not jibe with the Senator's and the balance of the team. Who knows. It probably will come out at some point where it all started.

I am a Republican, and have high regard for the former senator.
