Give it a try. I emailed him the day he went on about how it was *indisputable* that Kerry was a hero because *the Navy gave him those awards". 2 days later (yesterday) he had Gardner (IIRC) on and O'Reilly was actually polite and trying to salvage something for Kerry, while not totally refuting the Swifties. He (BOR) tried to get Gardner to admit that *at the least* Kerry was a hero. The Swiftie managed to dispute that, although BOR left it til the last seconds and the final answers were a bit too quick to really register, IMO.

I sense a serious reconsideration going on about all this. The media still has some credibility to protect, perhaps, in their own minds.

Everyone needs to keep on holding their feet to the fire.

Brian K on F&F is another person to keep writing to. Again, I sense he is an honest guy and he often seems uncomfortable w/the official spin.

Brit has been tough on this and Hannity handled Lanny Davis well last night, while Alan, of course, tried to keep the Kerry-was-a-hero BS alive w/the refrain of "half a football field away" and "didn't serve ON the SAME boat" sh!t. Keep emailing them. Keep reiterating the way Swift Boats operated. Hammer on the fact that these guys in the other boats were sometimes only 5 feet away, while the supporting vets mostly didn't spend more than 2 months each on the same boat as Kerry. Include that the supporters got Bronze Stars and an early transfer out of a combat zone. I sense an opportunity.

I just e-mailed BOR. We'll see if he listens. If this article doesn't convince him, nothing will.
