Mapes was the producer of the CBS 60 Minutes II segment on President Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard that aired on September 8, 2004. According to the segment, President Bush had received preferential treatment in being admitted to the Guard, and once in, had served dishonorably. The segment predicated the latter theme on four 1972 and 1973 documents from the “personal file” of Lieutenant Colonel Jerry Killian, then-Lt. Bush’s commanding officer in the Texas Air National Guard. CBS had obtained the documents from a confidential source. In the online version of the story, CBS posted PDF versions of the four documents.The authenticity of the documents was originally attacked on the website Free Republic by an anonymous poster (since revealed to be Atlanta attorney Harry MacDougald) late on the evening of September 8.
Hooray Buckhead!

Does anyone here have the posting or text of it that Buckhead made here, that started the ball rolling that the documents were forgeries and Rather and Mapes were frauds for airing them?
