I haven’t yet been able to delve into the Swift Boat stuff in great detail, but here is one thought. These guys have to worry about getting discredited like the Arkansas state troopers.

The Clinton effort was aided, of course, by a media hostile to the troopers. That condition applies very much to the Swift Boat guys today. They need to gird themselves, and be very smart and tough in the days ahead…
