If this was just an isolated question of whether or not the statement was true in isolation, I really wouldn't care. But Kerry used this to directly contradict the CIC in a time of war for his political cause. If he lied about this, I think it is very relevant.

And read my later posts. His campaign is backing away from this one.

This reader's email over on Instapundit sums it rather nicely:

• The new "spin" seems to be that the Mekong Delta runs into Cambodia and, as a result, Kerry could have been near Cambodia or accidentially gone over the border. However, that "explanation" is non-responsive to the fundamental basis for the criticism of Kerry. He alleged, again and again, that the US knowingly, intentionally, secretly and duplicitously sent him into Cambodia as part of US policy, while denying the same publicly to the world. . . .
  
  If, now, he is forced to admit that his recollection is untrue, it makes a mockery of over 30 years of his use of his war record. What does this say about his ability to lead? Moreover, how can he criticize George Bush for relying on faulty war intelligence when he has been willing to base policy on his own faulty recollection?
