This Still Isn't Resolved?

So I go on an extended Internet hiatus (extended for me, someone used to 10+ hours a day of being online) and at the time whether Kerry was in Cambodia or not during Christmas is being discussed. I come back after almost two weeks offline and the same topic is getting debated:

The circumstances at least suggest that Kerry was indeed involved in a "black" mission, even if he had never explicitly made that claim. And why would he make such claims if he hadn't been? It was neither a glamorous nor a particularly admirable mission—certainly nothing to boast of.

But one thing is for sure: Lt. Kerry did not spend that Christmas Eve just lying around, dreaming of sugarplums and roasted chestnuts. He had plenty of time to cover the 40 miles from the Cambodian border to the safety of Sa Dec (he did command a swift boat, after all). More to the point, the evidence indicates he did cover those 40 miles: He was near (or in?) Cambodia in the morning, in Sa Dec that night.

Read the whole thing if you wish, but I've just spoiled the ending for you.
