Kerrey Investigation ‘Wrong Way to Go’
Some of Bob Kerrey’s former Senate colleagues who served in Vietnam said they have little desire for a Pentagon investigation into his recent admission that civilians were killed during a 1969 mission for which he won the Bronze Star.
“To now talk about an investigation, it seems to me, is just the wrong way to go,” Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) told ABC’s “This Week.” “If the Pentagon asked me, I’d say no.”
Sen. Max Cleland (D-Ga.), a member of the Armed Services Committee, told ABC he does not think an investigation is warranted, as did Sen. Charles Hagel (R-Neb.).
The Pentagon last week left open the possibility of probing the award of a Bronze Star to Kerrey.
