Winter Soldier 2008: Steve Pitkin as Precedent?

Another IVAW question has this:

34. Will you speak to an IVAW verifier to help recall and confirm your testimony?

In the American Thinker article I alluded to IVAW possibly “coaching” potential “witnesses”. Supposed assisting with memory recall can be useful for doing just that. During the original WSI in 1971, John Kerry and other VVAW leaders “assisted” young Steve Pitkin in recalling atrocities…that he neither witnessed nor participated in and frankly never happened. Pitkin is the only witness from that WSI to have signed an affidavit.
