They're putting snapshots out on Yahoo photo pages now. Is this desperation, or what? I hope everyone has had, or will have an opportunity to read the truth about this mission in Unfit for Command.

Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry (news - web sites), left, and William B. Rood, right, are shown in this undated photo at the Swift boat base at An Thoi shortly after the action for which Kerry was awarded the Silver Star and Rood was awarded the Bronze Star in early 1969 during his service in Vietnam. Both men are holding weapons captured in the mission. Rood, a night city editor with the Chicago Tribune, who served with Kerry during the Vietnam War as the commander of a Navy swift boat on the 1969 mission ischallenging the attacks on Kerry's account of the incident.

Kerry was in Vietnam? I have never seen such an obvious use of the wire services for distributing unfiltered press releases from a political campaign.
