	Joseph (Bob) R. Kerrey
		Bob Kerrey, a former United States senator who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his military service in Vietnam, has acknowledged that a combat mission he led there three decades ago caused the deaths of 13 to 20 unarmed civilians, most of them women and children.
		Kerrey insisted, as he had in interviews the previous day, that his squad of Navy Seals, which had entered the Vietnamese village Thanh Phong to capture a Vietcong leader, had fired only after being fired on, and then discovered that the dead were unarmed civilians.
		Kerrey said he was wrestling with the issue but never made clear just why he was wrestling, which only served to increase the attention given his struggle over whether to stay or not to stay.

	BookPage Interview June 2002: Bob Kerrey
		Former U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey says there is a very practical reason for ending his new autobiography, When I Was a Young Man in 1970, when he is only 26 years old and a fresh (and reluctant) recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor.
		While Kerrey doesn't regard himself as having been a "lone wolf" in his youth, the stories he tells reveal a personality which, while not indifferent to family and friends, seems extraordinarily self-contained.
		Kerrey addresses that accusation only obliquely in his memoir, noting, "I would not swear that my memory [of the event] is 100% accurate.

	CNN.com - Kerrey: Civilian killings in Vietnam a mistake - April 25, 2001
		Kerrey's wartime heroics have been central to his political biography, but the former senator from Nebraska now says this incident that earned him a Bronze Star for "heroic achievement" was actually a tragic mistake that has haunted him for 32 years.
		Kerrey decided to come forward when he learned that one of his SEAL squad members on that mission had given a different account during a joint interview with The New York Times and CBS News.
		Although Kerrey and his political allies have long touted the Medal of Honor he was awarded for his actions in a different battle, he has rarely, if ever, talked about what he did to earn a Bronze Star as a 25-year-old Navy lieutenant.

	War criminal to probe mass murder Ex-Senator Bob Kerrey appointed to 9/11 panel
		Kerrey’s appointment to the bipartisan panel, formally known as the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States, follows the Bush administration’s sudden expediting of the nomination to a position on the Export-Import Bank of Max Cleland, like Kerrey a former Democratic senator (from Georgia) and a veteran of the Vietnam War.
		While Kerrey was no longer a senator at the time, the committee on which he had served as the highest-ranking Democrat carried out a whitewash of the government role in 9/11, together with its House counterpart, in their toothless joint investigation of the terrorist attacks last year.
		Kerrey was also one of the key figures who approved the nomination of CIA Director Tenet and has remained his defender and political ally.

	Vietnam charges ex-Senator Bob Kerrey with war crimes
		Kerrey’s position that “both sides did a lot of damage” and that the Vietnamese should “get over it” is nothing short of obscene, given the nature of the US war in Vietnam and his own role in it.
		The raids that Kerrey led during his short stint in the Mekong Delta were part of a secret CIA assassination program known as Operation Phoenix, which sought to exterminate the political leadership of the Vietnamese liberation struggle in the south.
		The demand that Kerrey be removed as president of the New School is a necessary measure of social hygiene: allowing a war criminal to serve as the head of a major academic institution only debases the university and pollutes the intellectual atmosphere as a whole.

	AlterNet: Bob Kerrey's Vietnam
		Kerrey, while admitting that civilians were killed, disputes this account, and his version of events has been supported in a statement signed by the five other members of the seven-man team.
		Although his account is of course sharply at odds with Kerrey's, Kerrey has said, "I'm not going to make this worse by questioning somebody else's memory of it." At the same time, however, he has attacked the Times and CBS, which worked on the story with the Times, in an interview with the Associated Press.
		But the question, of course, is not whether Kerrey was a coward or a braggart -- he obviously was neither -- but whether on February 24, 1969, he twice ordered the massacre of civilians -- first at the hut, second in the village.

		Kerrey also explains that distance learning is sometimes the tip of the iceberg.

		Here is an American hero, twice decorated for his heroics in the heat of battle, and later one of the most respected legislators on both sides of the aisle in the Senate telling the nation that despite the medal, he believes he did nothing heroic that night in Thanh Phong.
		Kerrey opines, in the Times story, that the civilians of the village his men attacked were, in all probability, Vietcong supporters.
