Vietnam Vet: I Lied About Atrocities
Wednesday, September 15, 2004
WASHINGTON — A veteran who testified to John Kerry (search) about atrocities he committed in the Vietnam War (search) is now claiming that the Democratic presidential candidate coerced him to tell tales.
Steven Pitkin, an Army combat veteran, told FOX News that Kerry coached him and others to say they had witnessed war crimes, even after Pitkin told Kerry that he had not.
When reached for comment Wednesday, the Kerry campaigns responded, "Whoops."
PS: No, that wasn't a typo above. I've decided that given the current state of Kerry's team, it is grammatically incorrect to refer to the campaign in the singular.
