I'll give more stock to the men whom we know were on the boat with
Kerry, and are willing to stand with him today, over what we are told
is said by others whom we are told were on other boats.

There's a pretty large gulf between saying that Kerry's crew was in a better
position to know and understand the facts, and saying that the
two-hundred-some other vets (and we know from Kerry's campaign that all vets
are honorable, even when they admit to committing atrocities) lied.
