[Jack Mclaughlin]

Dear Pat: We need your help. As you have observed from your perch, one of our leaders, John ONeill, is not being given a fair opportunity to present our case. The liberal media has resorted to the strategy that has worked so well for them in the past, deny us a voice and shut us down. We believe the other side should also have the opportunity to be heard in an open forum.

What is so perplexing for me is that democrat operatives like Lanny Davis contend that only those who served on Kerry`s boats have any credibility as witnesses. Why do they keep sending out people like John Hurley as their chief spokesman since he wasn`t even a part of the swift boat family, never mind a crewmate. We sincerely want Kerry`s actual boatmates to be heard from too. Why aren`t we hearing from James Wasser, Drew Whitlow, William Zaladonis, Stephen Hatch, Fred Short, Del Sandusky, David Alston, Gene Thorson and the others in a free and open forum. We have only heard from a few of them in a very controlled situation. I wonder if Lanny Davis have questioned any of them.

Have any of Kerry's group appeared separately, or even as a group in a question and answer forum? If not, why not? Perhaps someone in the media would like to pick up on that!
