Ken Cordier, a retired Air Force colonel and former Vietnam prisoner of war, once hoped to be named the Bush administration's ambassador to that country.
Now he finds himself near the center of a storm over whether a scathing campaign against the Democratic presidential nominee by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth has been illegally coordinated by Republicans close to the president.
"The attack dogs for the Kerry campaign are out there claiming I'm the puppet of the Bush campaign," Mr. Cordier said Tuesday from his Oak Cliff home, where he has been flooded by phone calls and e-mails. "Nothing could be
further from the truth."
