Mr Rutenberg:

I read your piece in today's Times on the funding habits of one Harold Simmons. After completing the article it left me with numerous question about its' validity and the accusations you make.

You initially claimed, "In 2004, Mr. Simmons donated $2 million to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, whose advertisements against Mr. Kerry included one that, with allegations since discredited, impugned his military service as a Swift boat captain during the Vietnam War."

Please point out one credible source which has discredited any of the claims made by the SBV, men who served with John Kerry in Vietnam.

Second; you note, "Mr. Obama has called Mr. Ayers “somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8 years old.”

And while that may be true do you deny any of the quotes in the ad attributed to Obama in reference to William Ayers??? Or is this another case of the NY Times telling just one side of the story??

Speaking of which- at what point in time will you, or your paper, being doing an expose' on 527 groups funded by George Soros??? Or major benefactors to groups such as ACORN??

I eagerly await your response.
