Also, Charles Colson apologized to Kerry for "any harm he may have caused Kerry." The 27-year-old Kerry was a hot topic in the Nixon WH. Kerry impressed the heck out of Nixon, who described Kerry as intelligent & articulate. Due to Nixon's concern (or paranoia) about Kerry's effectiveness, Colson found & recruited John O'Neill to serve as Nixon's counterattack against Kerry.
MSNBC included taped conversations between Nixon, Kissinger, Haldemann, & Colson about Kerry. Haldemann & Colson both were heard to say Kerry had to be destroyed, credibility-wise.
It was after Colson had served time in prison, becoming a born-again Christian, that he was compelled to apologize to Kerry.
The apologies of both Nixon & Colson (Nixon's henchman) speak volumes, and perhaps in a perfect world with a perfect Fourth Estate, the apologies would serve to discredit John O'Neill.
