They certainly are flogging this story; I can't decide if it's true or they just want hits on their web sites.
NAVY CHIEF HAS BEEN WORKING THE DOCUMENTATION OF THE DISCHARGE ANGLE AND ALSO UNCOVERED THE VVAW/ VC CONNECTION. IF YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS, HIS WORD THAT IT WILL COME OUT SUNDAY SHOULD BE ENOUGH. IF YOU HAVEN'T, CHECK A COUPLE OF THE THREADS:

THE SWIFTVETS DON'T NEED THE HITS. THEY NEED THE SUPPORT OF PATRIOTS IN GETTING THE WORD TO THE PEOPLE. THE MSM AND THE GOP ARE STONWALLING.
It may be true. I've heard people swear by NavyChief, but I think it sets a very dangerous precedent when anyone runs with a story based on "so-and-so said this and so it must be true, because he's never lied before. It will be proved later."
Mistakes can be made, and documents can be misinterpreted. We simply need to have verification so that we don't set ourselves up for a major embarrasment.
Someone could pose as NavyChief. Someone could pose as a former Secretary of the Navy. I will not apologize for my position if the story turns out to be true, but we don't need to be pulling a John Kerry and running with unverifiable stories.
''pajamahadeen'' coined w/ the Rather incident; new sign-up on FR; cheesey gospel pitch (Brothers and Sisters/ deep in your heart, blah, blah, blah) = they want hits on their web site.
