Former FBI Agent Warns Swift Boat Vets
townhall.com ^ | 08/10-04 | Gary Aldrich

In 1996, I took the ride of my life, but I have no regrets about exposing Bill Clinton for the louse that he is. Blowing the whistle on a powerful politician was different from any activity I had ever undertaken, and I arrested people and dodged bullets for a living!

I thought I had seen it all, but I was wrong.

When I began my quest to surface the truth, I was an honest, independent, a-political FBI agent. But, when the establishment was finished with me, I was “aligned with the Dole campaign, Big Tobacco, shadowy right-wing financiers of various anti-Clinton cabals and conspiracies, and a friend of the NRA!” The “Left” attacked me while the “Right” ran and hid in the tall grass.

The truth did not matter – I was whatever the news media said I was. I’ve labored long and hard to regain my reputation and credibility, and to some degree I have succeeded. But for a lot of Americans, all they will ever remember about my attempt to tell the truth is that the president’s top advisor, George Stephanopoulos, called me a pathological liar.

The day the ad came out, I wondered how long it would be for each of these men to be destroyed.

The Bush administration is right to distance itself. This isn't their fight. McCain's opinion doesn't matter. He wasn't there.

It's up to US to stand with these Swift Boat veterans as well as THE OTHER veterans against Kerry groups, such ad Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry, and give them our continued support.

John Kerry has acted like nothing but a guilty man caught in the act and trying to cover his rice embedded behind. He has followed no legal procedure, though he's a lawyer and former prosecutor. Instead, he's done nothing but send attack dogs out to smear these Vietnam veterans, and and emails out claiming they're just part of the VRWC.

WE know as well as John Kerry does that this is not the truth.

The Bush administration is right to distance itself.

It should do that with the caveat of saying, "Perhaps Kerry should open his records, and put these questions to rest. Then we get dwell on more important issues.

I spent a WHOLE year in Viet Nam and did not see any atrocities that Kerry claims to have seen in a few month. Kerry is a liar.

Amen to that. I can't abide a liar either.

I thought it would be logical to make the first "here" the earliest. :)
