I found this link: http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=Swift_Boat_Veterans_for_Truth

Someone has written a bunch of garbage about the Swiftees, the page is "editable" by anyone with a browser. Click the "Edit this Page" on the left and someone with more knowledge than I FIX IT!!

If it truly lets you save it after editing, then all you have to do is fix the words you don't like by deleting them and typing in new words. Just don't delete any brackets or words like </script>

I would do it, but I don't feel that I know enough about the Swift Vets to fix it myself.

Interesting that they have left their pages wide open. That's kinda dumb.

wikipedia is a user-generated and maintained encyclopedia on the web.

Not worth much as a reference, because there is no cross-checking from the owners of the site for facts. This is left up to other readers, such as yourself.

Whoever wants to join and make corrections, notations or additions to any article on the site is eligible to do so.

Moving to Research and Resources, shortly - people who have time to take on a project like this will see it faster.

Thanks,
