I like Col. North, but he is not viewed as either objective or honest by anyone to the left of center. And, as for his following...I would wager the vast majority of them already oppose Kerry.

I resepctfully disagree. This is the Swift Boat Veterans story to tell, and theirs alone. Ollie might step up to the plate and urge a fair airing of their story, but he cannot walk in their shoes, or do the task they have undertaken.

I've read the Swift Boat Veterans material, and as far as I am concerned, they are objective and honest. Kerry is a despicable phony.

I don't know about honest as North did bend and curve the truth before Congress. However he is a genuine Vietnam hero, and his service in the White House showed courage and imagination.

His problem is that he is perceived as lying to Congress while Kerry, who also lied to Congress is perceived as a mythical hero by the media. The guy I'd pick to do this is either Jeremiah Denton or Zell Miller. Of the two Miller would be the guy the media might have to listen to.
