I am coming to the conclusion that this whole thing is meant to "muddy the waters" so that upcoming devastating information from the Swifties against Kerry will be similarly dismissed as forgeries as well.
I don't see how. A forgery is a forgery is a forgery. You need a forged document for that. The Swift Boat veterans have used only personal testimony and official doctrines. They have been extremely careful not to make any exaggerated claims.
On one pan of the scale is the testimony of 150 veterans. On the other pan is Dan Rather and his forged documents.
It's pretty clear which of these two will be weighed in the balance and found wanting.
