"Thurlow, the commander of another swift boat who won a Bronze Star for helping the crew of PCF-3, insists there was no enemy gunfire during the incident. The citation and recommendation for Thurlow’s Bronze Star, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, also mention enemy fire, however.
Thurlow’s medal recommendation, for example, says he helped the PCF-3 crew “under constant enemy small arms fire.” That recommendation is signed by George Elliott, another member of the anti-Kerry group. It lists as the only witness for the incident Robert Eugene Lambert, an enlisted man who was not on Kerry’s boat who also won the Bronze Star that day."

Can we put this to rest now?

When it came out that Thurlow won a bronze star the same day as Kerry, he said it was because Kerry faked the report. Now it turns out that another member of the 'Swift Boat Veterans for Truth' wrote the report.

How many more stories are they going to make up?

How many more direct connections to the Bush campaign do we need to find? Their lawyer, their financiers, their member on Bush's steering committee - enough is enough.

While this has been going on, workers have lost overtime benefits, Rumsfeld has been implicated in the Iraqi prison events and elderly black GOTV organizers have been harassed in Florida.

Are these not much more important stories?

We are debating the future of America, John Kerry and the Democrats have a much plans for the country. This is what we are being distracted from.

Here is a story about the fog of war:
