It is summer and dragon sight is in play. Targaryen player controls multiple, but not all, characters with stealth. He declards the challenge type, is he also allowed to declare stealth on the other players characters and then be forced to use them? My view is that since stealth is an ability linked to attackers, to use it one must declare attackers and is not able to use stealth with dragon sight. My friend playing Targaryen, obviously, thinks differently.

You are right. As you can see in the timing chart in FAQ the declare stealth is part of the declare defenders framework window so cannot be separated and since defenders are declared before attackers, the stealth has no use.
Also it has been discused here several times so if you would dig just few minutes in the forums you would have find the answer.
While dragon sight is in play, stealth is all but useless to a targ player. Here's how it normally works.
Declare Challenge
Declare Attackers
Action Window
Declare Stealth
Declare Defenders
Here's how it works with Dragon Sight in play.
Declare Challenge
Declare Defenders
Declare Attackers
Action Window
Declare Stealth
So by the time they can declare stealth the defenders are already in the challenge and you can't stealth someone already defending, or rather you could, it just won't do anything.
Another good resource is Rogue30's database which now has comments capabilities for individual cards. This question about Dragon Sight comes up fairly often and Dragon Sight's entry on Rogue30's site has a fairly comprehensive explanation .
Ok, I'm sorry for the whole cloggin up these totally active message boards thing.
I don't think anyone really cares. The search feature on the boards is kind of funky any way (though a lot better than it used to be).
