John, you need to read the linked Washington Post article in its entirety, and post your comments on this one. I might get banned for saying this, but I suspect after the Wall Street Journal, the Post is the best paper at this point in the Fruited Plain. The article seems "fair and balanced" to this ignoramus.
Torie, I agree with you. Not only is this article more professional than has been the case, it really attempts to examine for factual matters. Nothwithstanding this Dobbs does not really lay a glove on O'Neill. Lots of fancy footwork but no real, punishing punch.
Kerry and aLL of Kerry's "Band of Brothers" have refused to be subjected to an interview. Kerry and his "band of brothers" have chosen to have surrogates answer the charges. Until Kerry and his "band" submit to an interview like O'Neill and the Swift Boat Veterans, you really have nothing to make that final comparison necessary to assess credibility.
I still say the "Cambodia In Christmas" story made the fat lady clear her throat preparatory to singing. The Cambodian incident requires highlighting in each and every commercial or editorial. It questions the validity of Kerry's previous comments; hence, it questions his very viability as a reliable person capable of the trust of the People.
More and more it seems this really like a trial. Thus far the accused have declined to answer for themselves and have relied on lawyer and MSM surrogates.
You have GOT to be kidding me...
After having several encouters with WaPo "reporters," I couldn't disagree with you more.
