** UPDATE ** Richard Blumenthal Story


An update, to an earlier post on this blog, on May 22nd.  "Richard Blumenthal 'Vietnam' Word-Play Could Prove to be More Insidious" 

An addition to the Blumenthal story, out today on ctwatchdog.com, that can be seen here, details the story of veteran Assistant District Attorney, Richard R. Hine.  In it, Hines claims that Blumenthal lied to him, personally, about his service in Vietnam.  He also claims, hearing Blumenthal misrepresent his Vietnam service, to groups about five other times, when the two men had attended functions together.

Hine said he knew about the Connecticut Attorney General's true service record, even before his revealed conversation, that occurred 18 years ago.  The Assistant Attorney General, outlines the circumstances of his conversation with Blumenthal, as well as apologizing to Vietnam veterans and their families, on behalf of Blumenthal, in a letter he circulated to various newspapers two weeks ago.
