The big story in the Presidential race the last few days has been this whole anti-Kerry ad attaching his military service record thing. The ad campaign is backed by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. They claim Kerry frabicated events in order to earn service medals. Kerry recently fired back, calling those accusations false and further stating he believes that this group is really a front for the Bush campaign.
The Washington Post has an interesting article about this situation in today's paper, and they find clear connections between this group and Karl Rove, President Bush's chief political aide.
From what I've read of Rove's tactics when helping run a political campaign, this fits his M.O. perfectly. Help fund and direct other groups not directly tied to his candidates campaign to carry out mud-slinging campaigns against the opposition. In my mind, the formation of this group and its activities are all part of the Bush campaign to win in November.
