Let's try again ...

Now I've been in management long enough to know there is usually a
confidential backstory to these sorts of situations, but on the surface
this sure looks suspicous:

Swift's supervisor, the Pentagon's chief defense counsel for Military
Commissions, said the career Navy officer had served with distinction.
"Charlie has obviously done an exceptional job, a really extraordinary
job," said Marine Col. Dwight Sullivan, a former American Civil
Liberties Union attorney, calling it "quite a coincidence" that
the Navy promotion board passed on promoting Swift "within two weeks
of the Supreme Court opinion."

In June, the prestigious National Law Journal listed Swift among the
nation's top 100 lawyers, with such legal luminaries as former Bush
administration Solicitor General Theodore Olson, 66; Stanford Law
constitutional-law expert Kathleen Sullivan, 50; and former Bush campaign
recount attorney Fred Bartlit, 73.
