The Discerning Texan

The Mainstream! Welcome to the story!
The Discerning Texan would like to welcome certain representatives of big media to the story of the year in the 2004 election: the Swift Boats Vets expose of John Kerry. Although most of the big media outlets are still engaged in trying to spin the story in Kerry's favor, finally tough questions are being asked. An example occurs in ABC's "The Note", which asks:
"Did Kerry alone write the after-action reports for his medal citations?
How close was he to Cambodia on Christmas, 1968?
What will Doug Brinkley's article in the New York conclude?
Is Kerry reluctant to acknowledge performing a top-secret mission for the CIA because he doesn't want to be accused of revealing classified information?
Why doesn't Senator Kerry recall attending the Vietnam Veterans Against the War conference in Kansas City in November of 1971?
How much will his post Vietnam political activities be scrutinized by the media?
Is that fair game for the Bush campaign? (We get the sense that yes, it is, and yes, it will be.)."
Welcome, guys. The water has been just fine here for over two weeks now. But better late to the party than never...
