Kerry admits writing the after action reports

In 1971, in testimony before Congress, John Kerry revealed that he wrote "spot reports" (which is what the after action reports were called) during his time in Vietnam.

Kerry told the committee on April 22, 1971, "...I can recall often sending in the spot reports which we made after each mission..."

Kerry also said that many in the military had "a tendency to report what they want to report and see what they want to see.".....

Kerry later added, "I also think men in the military, sir, as do men in many other things, have a tendency to report what they want to report and see what they want to see."

Bloggers and Swiftvets already knew that Kerry wrote the reports, but it's still interesting to see Kerry admitting to it himself.

Frankly, the guy just can't keep his mouth shut or his lies straight.
