2. About freakin' time!

"It's also relevant to know who's underwriting this advertising campaign. The biggest single donor so far to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth isn't a Swift boat veteran but one of the leading Republican donors in Texas. Houston builder Bob J. Perry gave the group $100,000, accounting for the bulk of the $158,000 in receipts it has reported. It's fair to ask whether truth is at the top of this group's agenda."

4. I think it is a weak editorial

The Washington Post should use some common sense and grow some integrity. God knows they have lost any they used to have.

I read that editorial as a superficial explanation for a dispicable
advertisement for the Republican Party. It reads that they clearly have no love for Kerry. So be it. However, to ignore the viciousness of this group and not condem it outright is cowardly.

I wonder if they will apologize to us again when America collapses if there is another Bush administration.
