The book appears to be meticulously researched and reported. It is replete with copious footnotes, a detailed index and two appendices. First-hand witnesses are named and quoted verbatim to support each specific, shocking charge. Each charge of false heroics is logically presented. Theauthors quote the official Navy citation and then present the purported eyewitnesstestimony that refutes the official finding. The witnesses who are summoned forth are officers and men who served simultaneously with Mr. Kerry in Coastal Division 11 and purport to be eyewitnesses to the events in question. And yet, there is another group of men, the sailors who served directly under John Kerry on the same boat with him — his band of brothers. They have traveled around the country with Mr. Kerry and have vouched for his description of his heroic, able and selfless service to our country. One of these groups of men are lying through their teeth. This is not a case of failed memories. But considering all the testimony and evidence, John Kerry is either Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde. As of this moment there is about a 50-50 chance that we will elect, in the person of John Kerry, either a very fine man or a truly despicable man president........snip
...... If it is not a pack of lies, the nation needs to know that, too. I would encourage some of the major voices of the non-conservative mainline media — Tim Russert, Dan Rather, Leonard Downie Jr. of The Washington Post — to do as I did. Spend an evening reading the book. If they are not struck by the damning picture it paints of John Kerry and the credibility of the presentation, forget about it. But if they judge it as I did, then let their consciences be their guide.

Then forget about it, you're talking about Rather, Russert et al, remember.
I think I will buy an extra copy and leave it at my local barber shop!!!!!!
You have to have a conscience before you can be guided by it
"Yeah baby I was CIA"
Kerry put on the hat, pulling the brim over his forehead. His blue button-down shirt and tie clashed with the camouflage. He pointed his finger and raised his thumb, creating an imaginary gun. He looked silly, yet suddenly his campaign message was clear: Citizen-soldier. Linking patriotism to public service. It wasn't complex after all; it was Kerry.
He smiled and aimed his finger: "Pow."
An excellent idea. Wouldn't that be cool if everyone bought a copy to lay around somewhere?
I can not wait for the book to come out! Of course it may be a while up here in the "Peoples Democratic State" of Michigan.
Just when I think I couldn't like Tony Blankley any better, he comes up with another terrific article, and I like him even more! He's out-and-out daring the MSM to do its homework and read the book they're trashing to kerry water for sKerry. Gotta love it.
MSM pundits are much more likely to read The Little Red Book of old for solace.
Blankley has found out what those of us who served in combat in Viet Nam have known for decades.
John Kerry is a lying fraudulent traitor!
And that's the bottom line!

Big assumption that anyone in the mainstream media has a conscience.
FYI ping
The Kerry camp has got to be quaking in there boots over this! They are scared.
