Today they firmly believe they did. People are quite capable of convincing themselves of something given enough time, like the Veterans being spit upon when getting off the planes from Vietnam, despite the fact that the planes from Vietnam landed on a military base and no protestors could possibly have ben present.

Che they landed at Travis AFB, from there they had to arranged their trip home on commercial Buses, Trains, and Plane. That is why some said they were spit on and call baby killer.

I think they were prepared. Someone needs to start sue Drudge for spreading libel. Everytime I see some of this stuff, it's always because Drudge is reporting it. I mean come on, even Fox isn't touching this.

You do realize the last time that happened, the lawsuit not only failed, but the plaintiff had to recompense Drudge for court costs?

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX TUESDAY MAY 01, 2001 16:01:01 ET XXXXX

MAY DAY: LAWSUIT AGAINST DRUDGE DROPPED; BLUMENTHAL PAYS CASH TO GET OUT!

Former Clinton White House aide Sidney Blumenthal today dropped his $30 million lawsuit against the DRUDGE REPORT and editor Matt Drudge after agreeing to a settlement which requires Blumenthal to pay cash to Drudge's attorneys.

"This frivolous lawsuit, which was approved by a sitting president and vice president of the United States, comes to its wimpy conclusion with Mr. Blumenthal, I repeat, Mr. Blumenthal cutting a check," Drudge said. "In return, I pay him nothing, and have agreed not to countersue."

The 100+ page suit made front page headlines worldwide and was considered a "test case" for the development of Internet libel law.

After nearly four years of litigation, Blumenthal rushed to settle the case when Drudge filed a motion to dismiss the suit for lack of merit and to recover attorneys' fees.

Sounding a personal May Day cry, Blumenthal went to the courthouse today to sign settlement papers and withdraw the case.

Through twists and turns, from a battle over jurisdiction to a clash over the privilege to protect confidential sources [Federal Judge Paul Friedman ruled early in the case that Drudge "was not a reporter, news gatherer or journalist"], the lawsuit pitted the White House against an individual reporter.

"This result vindicates our position that, in defamation cases, the First Amendment's protection extends to individuals operating in new mediums, no less than to traditional journalists in corporate newsrooms," said Drudge's lead attorney Manny Klausner.

"I am forever in debt to my attorneys, to all those who contributed to the DRUDGE REPORT legal defense fund and to David Horowitz's Center for the Study of Popular Culture," said Drudge.

"It was a Clinton-approved lawsuit, which was filed by Clinton's right-hand man, being heard before a Clinton-appointed judge. But all the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't bring the DRUDGE REPORT to an untimely end!"

I'll agree if you agree that Bush's war record undergo the same intense scrutiny.

What have they been squaking about for the past year then?

Hmm ... I know I'm late coming to this discussion, but all the political operatives have to do to succeed is muddy the waters. Nothing more. And that's what this "book" is all about.

Unfit for Command? Or more Fit for Command than Bush?

At least Kerry turned up for duty. Unlike Bush.

On NPR today, I heard that several of the men who are criticizing Kerry today gave glowing reports about him in the 60s.

How did protesters get on to Travis AFB to spit on these guys as they got off the plane from Vietnam?

Kerry could have testified truthfully in a private hearing. Anyway, enough said. May the best man win.

Normally, those who testify in hearings before Congressional committees aren't the ones who determine whether that hearing is public or private.

You're being deliberately obtuse. They were harassed (and I've seen it firsthand as a kid waiting for my brother) when arriving at civilian transport terminals as part of their transport home. Or do you think they all lived on AF bases, or every one of them had AF bases immediately next to their back yards.

From Travis, many were bussed to the airport at Oakland for their connecting flights. Others were bussed to the Greyhound terminal near downtown SF.
