RIP Swiftboat Veterans

Blah blah blah already about the Swiftboat veterans and the nasty ad campaign attacking Kerry's military record. The past week has been a flurry of accusations, counterattacks and enough spin to make the Tazmanian Devil dizzy. After a week of political skirmishes, the dust has settled and there is a much more clear view of what we can believe. Turns out the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth members include a consultant to the Bush campaign (who resigned last week when that was revealed) and may now face the FEC for possibly breaking the law. Then the NYTimes publishes a whole graph full of contradictions that shreds their accusations into completely unbelievable lies. And finally, William B. Rood, the only other surviving officer who was present during the conflict in question, breaks his silence and eloquently lays the issue to rest. Let us hope this issue rests in peace so we can get around to talking about the future of our country.
