Chris Hornbeck

A tragedy, indeed. But something doesn't smell right about this article. I
admit I didn't read the whole thing, but upon scanning most of it I noticed
that it was dated yesterday (Saturday, May, 29), but included the following:

"Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) learned about Turner's dilemma and stepped
in to help. Previously, Kennedy, the USO and Sen. John F. Kerry, another
Massachusetts Democrat, helped Turner's family"

Does it seem odd to anyone else that Kerry would be identified in this way
in a current political article? I may be barking up a tree here, but the
fact that his identity had to be explained at all, and that said explanation
didn't mention that he's the Democratic Presidential nominee (let's not get
technical about the nomination not being officical yet) just doesn't sound
legit.

NOT that I want to take issue with the general message its trying to get
across.
