    By Robert Bryce August 15, 2005

    The more Bush promises a "light at the end of the tunnel," the more the American public grows disillusioned with the war in Iraq.

    The Republicans' post-convention bounce deflates as documents about Bush's evasion of military service surface.
    By Sidney Blumenthal September 8, 2004

  • When Republicans attack

    The Swift boat ads have been exposed by the press as blatantly false, but that hasn't stopped the Bush machine from pushing them. Has Kerry figured out how to fight back against the lies and the lying liars who tell them?

  • Why Kerry threw his ribbons

    The veterans who tossed their medals at the steps of the U.S. Capitol in 1971 just wanted to wake up their country to the disastrous tragedy of Vietnam.
    By Douglas Brinkley April 28, 2004

    With a campaign of distortion and lies, the right-wing smear machine is trying to impugn the military honor of John Kerry.
    By Joe Conason March 6, 2004

  • Kerry vs. the chicken hawks

    John Kerry's band of Vietnam War brothers has the Bush army running for their lives.
    By Robert Poe February 19, 2004

  • The Republicans' Kerry problem

    Three decades ago, a worried Nixon White House tried to destroy young John Kerry, a war hero who interfered with its plan to smear Democrats as un-American. Today's White House has the same problem.

  • The Vietnam smear -- from McCain to Kerry

    As Bush's military record comes under harsh scrutiny, the same smear campaign used against John McCain in 2000 is being rolled out against John Kerry.
    By Joe Conason February 10, 2004

  • "Tour of Duty" by Douglas Brinkley

    A new bestseller makes clear that John Kerry fought heroically in Vietnam -- and heroically against it once he got home. Is there anything else interesting about the guy?
    By Laura Miller February 3, 2004

  • Colin Powell's "Fog of War"

    Colin Powell is more isolated than ever in the Bush administration -- and almost certainly preparing for his retirement.
    By Sidney Blumenthal January 8, 2004

  • Kennedy, Vietnam and Iraq

    The evidence is clear: JFK decided to withdraw from Vietnam a month before he was assassinated. Setting the record straight is crucial as Baghdad continues to explode.
    By James K. Galbraith November 22, 2003

  • "Welcome to Vietnam, Mr. President"

    As White House denials grow insistent, some of the sharpest thinkers of the Vietnam generation see stark parallels with the war in Iraq.
    By Jessica Kowal November 17, 2003

  • Burying brutal truths about war

    The Toledo Blade exposed a shocking massacre by U.S. troops in Vietnam that was covered up for three decades, but the media has largely ignored the story. Is the press more timid during wartime?
    By Eric Boehlert November 12, 2003

    By Stanley I. Kutler September 30, 2003

  • Iraq is not Vietnam

    The antiwar left shows a troubling indifference to the plight of Iraqis -- and flirts with irrelevance -- by demanding that President Bush bring the troops home now.
    By Edward W. Lempinen September 22, 2003

  • The presses must roll

    The Supreme Court's Pentagon Papers decision barred an imperious president from blocking publication of explosive government documents about an ill-conceived war. Today, journalists may not be so brave -- or judges so vigilant.
    By Gary Kamiya July 1, 2003

  • The day Henry Kissinger cried

    My astonishing interview with the man who knows where the bodies are buried.
    By Stephen Talbot December 5, 2002

  • McNamara's "Moron Corps"

    HBO's "Path to War" leaves out some of the most shameful brainstorms of the Vietnam War's masterminds -- including a little-known recruitment program that turned the mentally and physically deficient into cannon fodder.
    By Myra MacPherson May 29, 2002

  • "We Were Soldiers"

    Mel Gibson fights the good fight in Vietnam in director Randall Wallace's flag-waving war flick with a core of decency.

    By Bruce Shapiro May 2, 2001

  • "Ho Chi Minh" by William J. Duiker
