Regardless of how you feel about the Swift Vets and their claims, Dean Esmay has an interview you might want to read. He spoke with Steve Gardner, a former shipmate of John Kerry. Granted, it is one man's observations and opinions but he was a first-hand witness of what the Kerry campaign has painted so pretty.

I continue to hold the position that the Swift Vets will not prove to be instrumental in defeating Kerry. I just wish we had the 'Senate Vets' to expose his voting record. He spent 20 years in the Senate and yet there is a continued blackout from the man on his own record.
