At this point, whether a Bradley Fighting Vehicle driver killed dogs or not seems such a trivial question for the right to pursue. It's just like the Jamil Hussein controversy.

There certainly seems to be a stronger drive towards it on the right (although I'm a lefty, so my vision may be blinkered), but it is definitely present in left-wingers as well.

The question is whether we should accept that politics must eventually model itself on the adversarial court system. Truth matters to the voter (juror), but all the information comes from advocates whose only interest, as far as truth goes, is in discrediting the other side. Will competition between these advocates necessarily drive the truth out into the open? I agree.
