1972 Email Casts Doubt on Bush Guard Service
(2004-09-09) -- CBS reporter Dan Rather today released the text of a recently discovered email from then-Lt. George W. Bush's Air National Guard commanding officer which casts more doubt upon the military service of the man who would become the 43rd President of the United States.
The revelation of the email comes just hours after questions were raised about the authenticity of typewritten memos from the same officer, shown yesterday by Mr. Rather on 60 Minutes.
According to the previously unseen email message sent in May 1972 by squadron commander Jerry Killian, Lt. Bush phoned Col. Killian because "his internet connection was on the fritz and he couldn't IM me."
Lt. Bush apparently wanted to talk about "how he can get out of coming to drill from now through November."
According to Col. Killian's email, the young Bush wanted to go to Alabama to work as webmaster for a Republican candidate's website.
Mr. Rather said the authenticity of the 32-year-old email has been confirmed by several Nigerian officials who specialize in electronic funds transfer by email.

"1972 Email Casts Doubt on Bush Guard Service " You'd have thought the "dubya@yahoo.com" address would have tipped them off.

Your source is wrong..Rather actually has the original carbon paper that was used when the document was first typed..as well as the roll of CORRECT-TYPE that was used to fix the mistakes on the original..

I have pretty serious doubts as to a southern national guard unit actually having email in 1972. As a kid I was allowed to futz around with a lunar lander simulation on a computer at the War College in Leavenworth in 1975/6 and all input and output was via a typewriter system with all of the "graphics" output on tractor feed paper... Anyone in the military back then have a line on this?

You nearly had me with that one. I was about to hit reply and sputter that there was no email in 1972... then I got it. I'm a little slow sometimes.

I heard tonight that these documents, "obtained from the Whitehouse", were actually given to the WH by SeeBS, then the WH gave them back with no comment. Can anyone verify this?

When are they going to produce the intercepted audio tape of a cell phone conversation from 1973 that confirms the memo?
