Bottom line, CBS news in its latest CYA article about the memos, quotes a 'Robert Strong' college professor as someone who KNEW Killian, who vouches for the memos.
Who is Robert Strong folks?? I suspect he is the key.
His comments are here:http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/09/06/politics/main641481.shtml toward the end.
Robert Strong was a friend and colleague of Col. Killian who ran the Texas Air National Guard administrative office in the Vietnam era. Strong, now a college professor, believes these documents are genuine.
"They are compatible with the way business was done at the time. They are compatible with the man that I remember Jerry Killian being," says Strong. "I don’t see anything in the documents that is discordant with what were the times, what was the situation and what were the people involved."
"He [Killian] was a straight-arrow guy," adds Strong. "He really was. I was very fond of him, liked him personally. Very professional man, a career pilot. He took his responsibilities very, very seriously."
Claims to be ex-admin officer for TANG and obviously drank the Kerry koolaid.
Bet he shopped the docs to CBS after forging them on his college issued PC (no - Mac).
I read his comments and they really say absolutely nothing about the authenticity of the documents.
His "real" name is Wobert Wong. Wong on font, wong on superscript, wong on spacing.

I'm not sure if this is him.
Where is a college Prof?
Maybe he was free when CBS's other fact checkers - Al Coholic, Stu Padassol, Hu Me -- were busy not covering the Swift Vets.
He's spouting the tired, dillusional liberal line that if it feels right to them, then it is right, regardless of the facts. Can;t let facts stand in the way of feelings can they?
Even when the widow and son are stating unequivocally that the Colonel would never write such a thing, or even keep private memos like these.
These people (CBS, Rather, Strong, and all associated with pushing this) are cretins, not deserving of respect, honor, or even notice...except to note that they are bent on destroying all we cherish and to prepare and act accrodingly.
I think you are onto something. It could be he's a poet at DU right now ... Denver University. It was the only Robert Strong I could find teaching at a college.
LOL!!!!
You owe me a new monitor!!!
Ok. Fair ... but the context of Strong's comments was to undergird the memos contents...
Strong as opposed to Killian's wife and son seem to have a much different remembrance of Jerry Killian. I'm gonna stick with family here.
I found a bunch of others. No connections so far.
"Working in the World: Jimmy Carter and the Making of American Foreign Research Policy, a book based on research at the Carter library and interview material collected from President Carter and his White House staff."
Ohhhh its a decent chance I think .... did you look at his vita?
