If anyone connected with the Kerry campaign has seriously tried to get the book pulled off the shelves, and it can be proven, Kerry is toast now. He'll be off the ticket by Labor Day and Hillary will be riding to the rescue as fast as her thundering herd can get her on a white horse.

Right, and Clinton was going to be kicked out for lying under oath.

No, this is much more serious (series?) because they're trying to get the book banned, rather than addressing the charges. As any lawyer will tell you, a reaction like that to statements under oath (all of the stuff in Unfit for Command is based on affidavits executed under penalty of perjury) is tantamount to an admission of the truth of the charges. The only way to refute evidence such as the SwiftVets have given -- direct personal experience and observation -- is to provide evidence -- not just bs statements by the campagin, but direct evidence -- that either impeaches the witnesses credibility (i.e. prior inconsistent statements, contemporary records, etc.) or witnesses who allege different versions of the facts under oath, based on their own personal experience and observation.

Absent Kerry's release of his records in full, or real direct contradictory testimony from the other vets who were there, the attack dogs simply won't hunt.

My guess is that if the vets who support Kerry were willing to go under oath on a lot of this stuff, they already would have. My guess is that the Swiftboat vets supporting Kerry are swallowing real hard right about now.
