If Kerry was Misquoted... Why Didn't He Just Say So? 

If Kerry was Misquoted... Why Didn't He Just Say So? This is of course related to Kerry's latest political gaffe where he said during a town hall meeting that foreign leaders have told him that they hope he wins. The Boston Globe reporter how quoted him is now saying he mis-transcribed... and that Kerry never said "foreign"... but if thats true... then why didn't Kerry make that assertion? Why didn't he say - Hey! I was misquoted?
