BILL DYER knows more about the John Kerry in Vietnam story than any journalist in the country, and certainly more than Douglas Brinkley will ever tell. He's also has a much better analytical mind than any journalist I've read on the story. He's a straight up, circumspect, call-them-as-they-are guy, and I admire his work on this topic quite alot.

But enough introduction. Go read Bill's latest "Swift Vet / Kerry in Vietman" piece, "A challenge to those who claim that the SwiftVets' allegations have been "debunked" or are "unsubstantiated"." It's brief and to the point. And not to be missed.

Read also this. Quotable:

Those who dismiss critics of John Kerry's Vietnam service as just a bunch of right-wing Republicans out to advance George W. Bush's cause don't know what they are talking about -- or they are engaged in wishful thinking. Okay, I may have once thought that about the critics, too. But after poring over the large volume of e-mail I received after my Aug. 28 column, "What Matters About Kerry and Vietnam," I don't any longer.
