He is not certain whether it was in Cambodia, but he is certain there was some point subsequent to that that he was in Cambodia."

If Kerry didn't fabricate, he exaggerated. Or misspoke. Or got confused. Or something. But whatever the differences among versions, the story is part of a larger narrative that may matter more than the details.
