Unfit for bookstores***Unfit for bookstores Salon ^ | August 19, 2004 | Eric Boehlert

The Kerry campaign calls on a conservative publisher to withdraw a book after the Washington Post torpedoes the veracity of a Swift boat veteran.

The Kerry campaign has told Salon that the publisher of "Unfit for Command," the book that is at the center of the attack on Kerry's military record by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, is retailing a hoax and should consider withdrawing it from bookstores.

"If I were them, I'd be ducking under my desk wondering what to do. This is a serious problem."
