Repeating what I said earlier:
I heard Jerry Agar reading some of this book today on the radio here in Raleigh; if the part he read is indicative of the rest of it, I now know why Kerry brought out the lawyers.
It's devastating.
The part Agar read was about the swift boat commanders' reunion in 2003; Kerry showed up with a camera crew, shoved aside some of the veterans so he could get to the dock to be photographed beside the boat; when asked, none of the swift boat veterans agreed to be photographed with him.
These were the men who served in his unit (is that the right word?).
And the thing that infuriated them most? After he got his film/photographs, he left. He did not stay for the memorial service for those who died.
According to Prager this morning, the swift boat guys have been on Kerry's ass ever since he entered politics but it was a Massachusetts thing. Now that he's on the national stage the rest of the country is hearing about it.
It isn't a new thing and could have been refuted at any time over the last 20 years.
