Old nemesis stalking Kerry's campaign trail (o'neill)
http://www.indystar.com/articles/0/170440-5490-010.html

<snip>
WASHINGTON -- For more than 30 years, John O'Neill has been stalking John Kerry, sometimes at the behest of a Republican president, but always in an attempt to discredit Kerry's combat service record in Vietnam.


<snip>
Kerry's campaign manager, Mary Beth Cahill, released a statement Wednesday suggesting O'Neill's book, along with television ads sponsored by the organization he heads, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, is part of an orchestrated attempt by President Bush's supporters to "tear down John Kerry . . . with lies."

"We knew it was coming: The Bush campaign and several allied right-wing groups are using August to launch a vicious smear attack against John Kerry," she said. "They're taking this opportunity to go for the jugular. It is a new low for the Republicans."

With the exception of an appearance on CNN to debate former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman William Crowe, a retired admiral and Kerry supporter, O'Neill has kept an uncharacteristically low profile in the days leading up to the publication of his book, co-authored with Jerome Corsi, a conservative firebrand who has apologized for inflammatory remarks he posted on a conservative Web site, FreeRepublic.com
