NEWS In an apparent case of internet graffiti at an online retailer, the cover of a book critical of John Kerry's war record was altered to appear as if the tract supports the Presidential candidate.
The book cover for the anti-Kerry book "Unfit for Command" was changed yesterday at Barnesandnoble.com to read "Fit for Command" - with those responsible simply 'airbrushing' out the 'Un' in the title of the front cover's online image.
The rest of the information on the page appeared genuine, offering ordering information and a description of the book, which is subtitled "Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out against John Kerry." By late Monday afternoon, the book cover appeared correctly on the site.
A Barnes & Noble representative did not immediately have a comment on the issue
