Please DU-rate this excellent AP story on Yahoo...

Finally, a reporter who investigates and tells the truth, rather than giving slanderous falsehoods equal time.

Its rating is WAY too low...

"Kerry: Bush Lets Groups Do 'Dirty Work'

9 minutes ago


By RON FOURNIER, AP Political Writer

BOSTON - Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) accused President Bush (news - web sites) on Thursday of relying on front groups to challenge his record of valor in Vietnam, asserting, "He wants them to do his dirty work."



Fighting back, Kerry said if Bush wants to "have a debate about our service in Vietnam, here is my answer: 'Bring it on.'" Bush served stateside in the Texas Air National Guard during the war.

"Thirty years ago, official Navy reports documented my service in Vietnam and awarded me the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts," Kerry said in remarks to a firefighters convention.

"Thirty years ago, this was the plain truth. It still is. And I still carry the shrapnel in my leg from a wound in Vietnam."
