Interesting article in the Los Angeles Times about John O’Neill, co-author of Unfit for Command. Although many of John Kerry’s defenders say the Swift Boat veterans are basically undercover Bush operatives, the Times reports that:

* O’Neill voted for Al Gore in 2000;
* he has described President Bush to several friends as an “empty suit;”
* of the leading candidates for national office, regardless of party, his favorite is Sen. John Edwards.

More on O’Neill in this morning’s Washington Post.
