Unfortunately, the book, not even released, has entered the downward spiral of diminished credibility of its authors. The "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" have been found to include a man who <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/8/6/105056/6162">changed his story right after Kerry entered the race</a> and another who <a href="http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2004/08/06/veteran_retracts_criticism_of_kerry/">flat-out retracts his accusations</a>. Meanwhile, another SBVfT member has accused Kerry of not really deserving his Bronze Star because the events leading to it never occured... even though the Veteran <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/8/5/162248/3128">recieved a Bronze Star for the same day's events</a> he claims now never happened. tag:metafilter.com,2004:site.34814 Fri, 06 Aug 2004 09:53:43 -0800 amazonrankings johnkerry negativecampaigning swiftboatveteransfortruth unfitforcommand vietnamveterans XQUZYPHYR
