There are a few more links now...but look how they are all worded....it will be interesting if any of these news people (term used loosely) will compare the money that they allege is from "Republican Texas activists" and George Soros the 527 KING for the Democrats....Bet the Repubs don't even come close to ANYTHING like Soros has given to date.........and that doesn't count ANY of the other 527's the Democrats are using for ads. Don't count on the major media to mention any "tiny little details" like these facts, though. slant/slant/slant... news.google.com

I heard a report somewhere today that along with the ad that was sent by the Swift Boat Veterans to the various television stations across the country was also 60 pages of documents to back up their claims. you are correct. upi.com CLIPS: Hoffmann, Thurlow and other Swift boat veterans have compiled a thick stack of documents, including copies of official Navy papers, they say point to discrepancies in Kerry's official recounting of combat exploits, especially the incident of March 13, 1969, on the Bay Hap River in South Vietnam. Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, however, in signed affidavits now in UPI's possession, say Kerry's shrapnel wounds were self-inflicted earlier in the day when he tossed a grenade into a sampan carrying rice and that there was no enemy fire at Kerry's boat or others involved in the incident. They point to mentions of the buttock wounds from the grenade and flying rice grains that appear in a number of stories by Kerry or about him in earlier articles and books, in contrast to his account for the casualty report. They noted the self-inflicted rice injury was mentioned on page 105 of the book "John F. Kerry: The Complete Biography by the Boston Globe Reporters Who Know Him Best" and in the book "Tour of Duty."
