From the CNN article http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/06/01/kerry.ad/index.html :

Proof positive the dems just don't get it on matters of importance. They are Masters of the Absurd.

A Kerry spokesman dismissed the group's claim, noting the Swift Boat Veterans used an enlarged version of the same photo at a news conference announcing the anti-Kerry group's formation in early May. "Somehow they didn't call to ask if they could use John Kerry's image," Michael Meehan said. "When it was useful for their politics they show a big blowup."


It all comes down to the context of how the images are being used. If the image is being used to imply a false assertion or insinuation then that those who images are being used have grounds to ask or sue Kerry campaign to stop using their image. Like back in 30's/40's politicans used to copy their images onto other images of popular groups, say, firefighters or police to project a false image that had the support of such groups.

Hmmm... in that debate, John Kerry claims his Commanding Officer was relieved. Anybody know anything about such a relief?


Everybody gets relieved sooner or later. Relieved for cause?

The implication that Kerry was making sure seems that way:

Greenhat wrote:
MR. KERRY: Well, I hardly think the second really merits that much discussion – I'm not sure – that much discussion or consideration.

The fact of the matter is that the members of Coastal Division 11 and Coastal Division 13 when I was in Vietnam were fighting the policy very, very hard, to the point that many of the members were refusing to carry out orders on some of their missions; to the point where the crews started to in fact mutiny, say, "I would not go back on the rivers again;" the point where my commanding officer was relieved of duty because he pressed our objections to what we were doing with the captain in command of the entire operation.

MR. CAVETT: The man above you was relieved of duty?

MR. KERRY: That is correct. The man above me was finally relieved of duty.

I've watched the full videos,and printed the full transcripts .At the moment I'm not sure where,but I'm thinking wintersoldier.com. I know C-SPAN had the transcripts. ( Kerry was caught in one lie after another.)It didn't take John O'Neal to make him look like a stuffed shirt liar. He did that all by himself,just as he does today.)
