Also in The Nation, Tom Hayden writes about a portion of Douglas Brinkley’s book that I wasn’t aware of: “Brinkley then recounts how Kerry later told Meet the Press that ‘I committed the same kinds of atrocities as thousands of others,’ specifically taking responsibility for shooting in free-fire zones, search-and-destroy missions, and burning villages.” Will Kerry stand by his contention that he committed atrocities, or flip-flop?
