It was in last week's Dallas Morning News, but I do not still have the article.
Why Glenn Smith:
1. He is the point man for the Kerry campaign 527s on the issue of Bush's National Guard service. It was his responsibility to get something like these memos out into the news stream.
2. Glenn Smith had plausible credibility as an original source. He was a political operative of Gov. Ann Smith when Bush ran against her. It was his job then to dig up dirt on Bush. Since he worked for the Gov it would have been no problem for him to slither on down to the National Guard and look through their records for anything that could be used against Bush. In fact he would be derelict if he hadn't.
3. Glenn Smith could plausibly convince Burkett that he, Glenn Smith, couldn't be the one that passed on the memos because that would link the 527s (and Soros) to the Kerry Campaign.
4. Glenn Smith, a personal friend of Dan Rather's daughter, campaign manager of last Democrat Tex Governor candidate, former Houston Chronicle reporter etc... was "unimpeachable" in Dan Rather's eyes.
5. Glenn Smith is someone that CBS would have to protect because the disclosure of his identity and connections with the Kerry campaign, MoveOn, and Rathers would bring down the whole house of cads. (no sp)
