DocuGate CYA
Opinion | Sixxiron

Posted on 09/10/2004 10:58:58 PM PDT by sixxiron

Forgive me if this has already been addressed, but the most basic and common sense indicator that these documents are a fraud is that the subject title of one of the memos is “CYA”……? If you were really trying to CYA, would you create a document titled CYA? It makes no sense. I don’t know of an officer in any branch of the Armed Service that would do something this stupid, yet I haven’t heard this basic fact mentioned. Opinions please.

To me, CYA is California Youth Authority. Enlightment, someone?

Only if you were a vicious, mean spirited, left wing conspiracy democrat! They are rather brain challenged.

Of course you wouldn't title it CYA! This is true not only in the military but in the commercial world as well.

This and all the other evidence that these are fraudulent docs is so plain and sophomoric that there can only be one answer -- the perp wanted them to be found as fakes. It's only a short while til the Dems really begin pushing the theory that Karl Rove forged the docs and sent them to Blather.

Not only that, all the wording is strange.

Bush just was not this important back then to use the language they were using.

OETR would not have been used then either. Someone on Fox...Hume...mentioned this today.

At the risk of looking stupid, please enlighten me. What does OETR stand for? Thanks!

Don't remember. I'm trying to find it. I know it should have been OTR or OER....not OETR

Lefties, Socialists and Communists have file cabinets full of these sorts of documents... for blackmail. Blackmail is the currency of the left. Think organized crime.

Still haven't got a reply. Everyone is probably gone to bed. Let me know if you find out. I'll do the same.

Anytime.

Guess this thread was overshadowed by the others tonight. That is the way it goes at times around here.

How long has "CYA" been around?

That is, what is the etymology? Was it even in use in the early 1970s?

Every page that looks like it might be relevant keeps locking up on me. Someone else try this link: http://brain.mu.nu/

Later in the newscast, Campenni sat down with anchor Jim Angle. Campenni brought up the August 18, 1973 "CYA" memo (online: http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/pdf/BushGuardaugust18.pdf ), which referred to how "Staudt has obviously pressured Hodges" and how "Staudt is pushing to sugar coat it." Campenni pointed out that General "Buck" Staudt had retired in 1972, so it would not be logical that Staudt would any longer be in Killian's line of command.

Campenni added, citing the same memo: "The other issue on that particular letter, there's another comment further down, ‘OETD,' that's the, I presume, ‘OETR.' That's referring to the Officer Efficiency Report...But the term of art was OER. Now it's OES. ‘OETR,' I went and looked in the Air Force glossary for that period, that's Officer Education Training Repositories -- totally unrelated to that. So I don't know why someone who would be doing these things all the time would put the wrong acronym in there for that."
