Before you stand by the SwiftVets, you better make sure they're telling the truth. The C.O., a guy named Elliott, has already retracted an affidavit he signed regarding Kerry's medals.
This has already compromised the ad. One more untruth, and the whole campaign and the book will be discredited.
Do you think they are telling the truth?
John Kerry and War Crimes in Vietnam
(He was in command of a Swift Boat
and ordered his men to do these things.

You shouldn't believe everything YOU hear, either.
Looks like the Boston Globe did not tell the truth, not Captain Elliot.
The so-called "retraction" dated August 6, 2004 <-- Mash here
Paragraph 3 "In support of the advertisment, I provided an affidavit dated July 21, 2004. I wholly reaffirm that affidavit with the following immaterial clarification as to the final sentence only. In that sentence, I state '. . . in connection with his Silver Star, I was never informed that he had simply shot a wounded, fleeing Viet Cong in the back.' That statement is wholly true. As the affidavit makes clear, I received no such report.
TOTAL BS. Elliott has already gone on the record stating it was total dim fabrication, not misquotes, not misunderstanding, TOTAL FABRICATION by a "reporter for the Glob" who just happened to be an ex'dim employee. Check it out.
you need to keep up sink.
