Nightline on Kerry

Excellent Nightline story on the Kerry silver medal. There are two segments where the crew went to Vietnam and talked directly with some of the people there that day. Much of what they found disproves the Swift Boat Vets.

So in the third segment Nightline had O'Neill of the Swifties on and he tried the usual tricks of lambasting the sources and not talking, even once, about anything the new sources had to say. What O'Neill doesn't realize is that slamming the sources only works once or twice, after the fifth or sixth time everyone notices that you are just dodging facts as opposed to having anything real to say.
