"It's almost impossible to corroborate that," said Stuart Rochester, co-author of highly regarded "Honor Bound: American Prisoners of War in Southeast Asia 1961-1973."

"It comes down to, 'He said, she said.' But there is overwhelming evidence that Miller gave up propaganda and information with very little duress."

"a letter of censure placed in (Miller's) file said that his conduct "was severely detrimental to both the welfare and morale of your fellow prisoners."

"After the war a fellow POW, Rear Admiral James B. Stockdale, tried to bring charges against Miller and Wilber of mutiny, refusal to obey orders, and aiding the enemy. But then-Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird declared that no POW would be prosecuted for propaganda statements made under the duress of captivity."

So I guess by 'Swiftboating" you mean telling the truth about someone? Wait, that's what it's always meant.
