This excerpt from John O'Neill's bestselling book, Unfit For Command, tells the story of John Kerry's rescue of Jim Rassmann. Certainly Kerry's misleading account of the day's events is a fair topic for exploration and debate, especially in view of Kerry's hyping of the story during the Democratic Convention. Neither Kerry or his campaign has bothered to address the substance of the case presented by the SBVT, preferring instead to take the position (also reflexively assumed by the press) that the refutations of Kerry's version of the story are nothing more than a "smear".
