Kerry and the Khmer Rouge

As you read the post below and are sickened by what happened 30 years ago, recall what John Kerry said in the January 30 interview with Tim Russert on Meet the Press.

SEN. KERRY:[...]but we were five miles into Cambodia. We went up on a mission with CIA agents--I believe they were CIA agents--CIA Special Ops guys. I even have some photographs of it, and I can document it. And it has been documented.
MR. RUSSERT: You'll release those
photographs?
SEN. KERRY: I think they were shown. I gave them to the campaign, but...
MR. RUSSERT: And you have a hat that the CIA agent gave you?
SEN. KERRY: I still have the hat that he gave me, and I hope the guy would come out of the woodwork and say, "I'm the guy who went up with John Kerry. We delivered weapons to the Khmer Rouge on the coastline of Cambodia." We went out of Ha Tien, which is right in Vietnam. We went north up into the border. And I have some photographs of that, and that's what we did. So, you know, the two were jumbled together, but we were on the Cambodian border on Christmas Eve, absolutely.

We don't think that Senator Kerry actually delivered weapons to the KR.  We think he's re-embroidering his war record.  But it really is grotesque that he would cop to delivering weapons to the Khmer Rouge to make himself sound more credible.  It sounds desperate and it sounds like he isn't all that familiar with what happened in Cambodia after Vietnam fell.
Right after this claim, Tim Russert gets Kerry to agree to release his "Form 180" which is the permission form that allows the Pentagon to release all of his military records, all of the records that corroborate his medal citations, his honorable separation from service, and his trip across the border to Cambodia.

MR. RUSSERT: Many people who've been criticizing you have said: Senator, if you would just do one thing and that is sign Form 180, which would allow historians and journalists complete access to all your military records. Thus far, you have gotten the records, released them through your campaign. They say you should not be the filter. Sign Form 180 and let the historians...
SEN. KERRY: I'd be happy to put the records out. We put all the records out that I had been sent by the military. Then at the last moment, they sent some more stuff, which had some things that weren't even relevant to the record. So when we get--I'm going to sit down with them and make sure that they are clear and I am clear as to what is in the record and what isn't in the record and we'll put it out. I have no problem with that.
MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180? SEN. KERRY: But everything, Tim...
MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?
SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will. But everything that we put in it, Tim--everything we put in--I mean, everything that was out was a full documentation of all of the medical records, all of the fitness reports.

That was 82  days ago.  We don't need to add that he has not signed the form.
