Instapundit (just keep scrollin’) and the Minute Man have moved in for the kill on the Swift Boat story. Blood in the water!

This, from the Swift vets’ ad (watch it yourself), is just devastating – following an explanation of how the North Vietnamese often tried to get POWs to falsely confess to war crimes:
“John Kerry gave the enemy for free what I and many of my comrades in the North Vietnam prison camps took torture to avoid saying,” says Paul Galanti, identified on screen as a prisoner of war from January 1966 to February, 1973.
