Good for Kerry. From Reuters:

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry asked the Federal Election Commission on Friday to force Republican critics to withdraw ads challenging his military service, and accused the Bush campaign of illegally helping coordinate the attacks . .

The campaign said there is "overwhelming evidence" that the group [the Swift Boat Veterans] is coordinating its spending on advertising and other activities with the President Bush's campaign for reelection . . .

Bush and a top adviser have long-standing ties to people behind the advertisements . . but the campaign denies any part in the ads themselves.
