"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.

This article lays the issues that both sides have with one another. I do believe that this is one of the better examinations I have seen.

There is a ton of (well deserved) bitterness on the part of the Vietnam Vets towards Kerry. How much of that is guiding their version of the facts remains debateable. However, it is clear that Kerry tends to play fast and loose with the facts and for that he is a scary choice for the role of POTUS. The questions that have arisen about his character are also deserved given his willingness to stake his claims to the presidency on a military experience he turned around and trashed upon his return home. I wasn't there at the time and place of the events in question but the guys who were deserve their say without the attacks of MSN and the NT Times.

Torie: The Washington Times is the superior paper in DC!!!!
