Olbermann: Rood Story Took A Lot Of Guts
Advertisements [?]
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5445086 /


You don't need me to tell you that Chicago Tribune's stories of and by its metro editor Bill Rood, confirming John Kerry's version of the events in Vietnam of February 28, 1969, are impactful(subscription only, but free). Rood's words barely hide his anger -- not on Kerry's behalf, but rather on behalf of his Swift Boat Veterans who've been sideswiped by the attacks against Kerry; those who have been branded as accessories after the fact to Kerry's alleged resume padding.

But the back-story is more amazing still, and not only puts a dent in the unseemly "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" but, in a completely backhanded way, takes an unexpected chunk out of the urban legend that the media is under the heel of the evil Argus-Eyed Liberal Scheme. Read on -- what the Trib's doing suggests quite the opposite.


a great read...and now makes Kerry's case for his medals and service unimpeachable. Rood is doing Edward R. Murrow proud. So is Olbermann.

Cheers!
