"One of the members of John McCain’s new Truth Squad — which his campaign says was launched to respond to unfair attacks on his record of military service –- was a member of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, and appeared in an attack ad for the group in 2004.

"The group was created to attack 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry’s military service record.

“How can you expect our sons and daughters to follow you when you condemned their fathers and grandfathers?” asked former Air Force Col. Bud Day, who was a prisoner of war with McCain in Vietnam, in a 2004 Swift Boat Vets spot.

"The Politico’s Ben Smith asked Day this morning if he sees a similarity between the lies spread by the Swiftboat group in 2004 and Clark’s questions about McCain’s qualifications yesterday. In an apparent attempt to bury the needle on the irony meter, Day rejected the comparison, saying, “The Swift Boat ‘attacks’ were simply revelation of the truth. The similarity does not exist here.”

I'm wondering who attacked McCain's military service. I believe they made this up in order to have an issue, no matter how phony.
