Oh please. It's rather late in the day to stand on the daily papers' claim to journalistic objectivity. O'Neill says he has sworn statements from eight officers and four sailors to the effect that Kerry left the scene of the incident of the action for which Kerry got his bronze star, and only came back later. The testimony of 12 eyewitnesses is evidence, and a lot more than the one or two anonymous sources behind many stories in the regular press.


This is crucial. If you listen to the DNC response and their water-carriers in the media, all of a sudden sworn affidavits from multiple named eye-witnesses are not evidence. "Unfalsifiable" was Josh Marshall's word, as in mere opinion, nothing to worry about. Just not evidence, nothing to see here, move along, move along.

Question: can they get away with this line, or will the blogs and the interviews do them in?
