Kerry Dishonorably Discharged?

Reports are coming out with indications that John Kerry was dishonorably discharged. We'll be watching this.

"Today, the New York Sun is reporting that a document has been uncovered shedding some light into that allegation.

The document is a form cover letter in the name of the Carter administration's secretary of the Navy, W. Graham Claytor. It describes Mr. Kerry's discharge as being subsequent to the review of 'a board of officers.' This in it self is unusual. There is nothing about an ordinary honorable discharge action in the Navy that requires a review by a board of officers.

According to the secretary of the Navy's document, the 'authority of reference' this board was using in considering Mr. Kerry's record was 'Title 10, U.S. Code Section 1162 and 1163. 'This section refers to the grounds for involuntary separation from the service. "
