Today the New York Times finally has a front-page article on the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and their allegations against Kerry. The article is simply astounding. The whole point of this lengthy piece is to demonstrate connections between the SBVFT and the Bush Administration. And it turns out (surprise, surprise) that SBVFT are supported by Republicans, and that some of these Republicans have also contributed to the Bush campaign, and some may even know Karl Rove. Its great to see the "newspaper of record" journalists use their probing journalistic skills to discover the obvious - Republicans are against Kerry. There is absolutely no investigation of the actual claims of the SBVFT, only attacks on the accusers.
Instapundit has more analysis of this article.
RealClearPolitics.com doesn't think that it was a very good idea for Kerry to respond to the SBVFT the way he did. His opinion is that all these questions about Kerry's war record, will inevitably lead to more attention on his anti-war activities which could be even more damaging for his campaign.
