“We have prepared what we call ‘Brown Books’...

Shouldn't that read: “We have prepared what we call ‘Brown Shirt Books’???

Just wiped off the coffee of the screen - a result of reading that the Democrats are preparing a Brown Book on the Swiftboat Veterans.

A historical note: The infamous Brown Book (or The Brown Book of Hitler Terror) was anonymously prepared by some high-level communists influence agents in response to the Reichtag fire in 1933. The Brown Book (or books since there were actually two volumes) were a collection of inspired guesses, lies, disinformation, and occasionally rock solid evidence about the emerging Nazi terror. However, though the books were overtly an attack on the Nazis they played a part in a much deeper game between the Nazis and the Soviets, which ended up in the German/Soviet pact of 1939 and the start of WWII.

Ever since Arthur Koestler who took part in the writing of the Brown Book described it in his autobiography, the term Brown Book has been a synonym for disinformation, half-truths and half-lies.

How appropriate!!!

A question: Is it possible for a foreigner to donate to the Swifties or could that be used against them?
