Retired Guard Officer Says He Saw Some Files Discarded in Trash
Retired National Guard Lt. Col. Bill Burkett said Tuesday that in 1997, then Governor Bush's chief of staff Joe Allbaugh told the National Guard chief to get the Bush file and make certain that 'there is not anything in there that will embarass the governor.'
Col. Burkett said that a few days later at Camp Mabry in Austin, he saw Mr. Bush's file and documents from it discarded in a trash can.
He said he recognized the documents as retirement point summaries and pay forms.
Bush aides denied any destruction of records in Mr. Bush's personnel file.
'These charges are flat out flat out not true,' said Dan Bartlett, White House Communications Director.

People can be banned for reasons other than being liberal trolls. For example, one person that I have in mind has a habit of signing up names, and then taking over the breaking news sidebar, and posting lots and lots of tabloid junk, and posting ever increasing amounts of skin shots with decreasing clothes levels. The first few accounts he had lasted a long time, with Jim and with us occasionally sending him notes asking him to stop posting everything to breaking news (especailly things from the Star, the Globe, the Enquirer, etc) and to tone down the skin photos. But in both cases, instead of getting better, he'd get more aggressive with it, and eventually got the heave ho. After the third or fourth or fifth iteration of this, he became a ban on sight.

This dates back to 2000 when Gore tried this crap with Burkett.
ALSO --
Seems this LTC Burkett had some beefs with the Texas National Guard and a records problem of his own -
From Moore's Law --
Description: Bill Burkett, a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the Texas Army National Guard, brought a personal injury action against appellees, William Goodwin, Jackie Taliaferro, and Archie Meador, all of whom were his superior officers. (1) Burkett appeals from the trial court's order dismissing his lawsuit.
[SNIP]
Burkett alleged that over the next four months Goodwin, Taliaferro and Meador willfully and maliciously refused to provide Dyess with clearance or confirmation of his duty status thereby denying him access to military medical care. Burkett alleged that these three individuals' conduct was "so completely beyond and outside any military authority or discretion as to have been outside the scope of military duty, outside any military duty, outside any military capacity, and not incident to military duty." Burkett alleged that they "acted purely as individuals, not as military officers, albeit pretending to have military authority and abusing their offices through such pretense in order to willfully and maliciously wreak havoc upon [Burkett's] life."

Can you tell us a little about Camp Mabry.
How Large of a facility. Most smaller facilities have commanders of lower rank than our LC.

This is NOT the wrongful discharge suit, but one where he calims 'they' denied him medical care leaving him disabled! In other words, this person has problems with his credibility, to put it mildly.
The Bush bashers were taken for a ride by a fibber
To: RandallFlagg
Sorry, THERE WAS NO "WRONGFUL DISCHARGE SUIT!
The personal injury suit was on a page titled "wrongful discharge" for some reason.
My apologies.

That's OK. I'm still waiting for the leftists to finish scrambling for a rebuttal to my posting Kerry's , "I was a war criminal," quotes.
I just LOVE keeping them running around like... well, RATS!

A little about the Lt. Col and his travils...... Click the link to read....
Lt. Col. Bill Burkett completed 28 years of decorated service and was medically retired from the US Army National Guard in 1998 after suffering meningoencephalitis on return from an assignment in Panama. From 1995 until his illness, Burkett served as State Plans Officer for the Texas Army National Guard and Governor George W. Bush. After refusing to follow direct orders involving falsifying readiness reports, Burkett sought "whistleblower" status for reports involving anti-Semitic activity; personnel fraud; readiness fraud and the alteration of the personal military file of Governor George W. Bush. Lt. Col. Burkett is currently the plaintiff in his appeal to the US Supreme Court in the case of Burkett v. Goodwin, Taliaferro, Meador, et al, in regard to the retaliation against him following breaking the Bush records issue. Lt. Col Burkett served as a War Plans Officer during Operation Desert Storm and functioned as a senior trainer in conducting simulations exercises for deploying troops.

Good work. After checking out those links, I don't see how anybody could believe a word Burkett says about Bush.
Wonder if 'reporter' Slater checked his background (didn't read the article because I didn't want to do the DMN the favor of registration).
To: Southack
"The fact remains that there is still no evidence that George W. Bush showed up for duty as ordered while in Alabama," he said. "We also still do not know why the president's superiors filed a report saying they were unable to evaluate his performance for that year because he had not been present to be evaluated."Mr. Bush's two superior officers in Houston write a year later that they could not perform his annual evaluation because he had "not been observed at this unit" during the preceding 12 months. The retired general who commanded the Alabama unit then has said he does not recall seeing Mr. Bush there, though the president says he did report for duty.
When did they move Houston?
