I'm unsure at this point as to Kalb's motivations, nor who, if anyone, might be motivating him. As Kerry is overtly engaged in his own political rehabilitation, it is within the realm of plausibility, if not certainty, that his rivals for the '08 nomination may develop a newfound interest in the Swift Boat allegations. It would be interesting to learn what political inclinations Kalb may have demonstrated in his journalistic career...or who he may have overtly supported, if anyone.
You can be sure that, behind the scenes, Hillary is working to damage Kerry.
Well, it looks like Demos have all but discounted Kerry as viable for '08 (Eleanor Clift recently described him as a "windsurfing dilletante"). I'm thinking that in Hillary's calculus, Kerry isn't yet on her radar.

Hard to tell from the FEC database as well. This is the only result from a contributor query on Kalb, Marvin:

In the primary, all a RAT candidate has to do is appear to want to help John Kerry. At the first debate one of the candidates would say: John, in order to win the presidency, you've got to answer the false allegations tainting your courageous and heroic service to our country. Why not release your full military record NOW, so you don't give the Pubbies and Swifties another chance to distort your record.
He'll be damned if he does (content of file), and damned if he doesn't (he was asked by a fellow RAT, not a Pubbie).

INDEED. I have long pegged Eleanor Clift as tied in tight with the puppet masters and their agenda, values, perspective and truth mangling habits.
However, I think it's still worth making noise about SKERRY. Kind of reminds people what idiots the other side risked our nation's security with.
