When did the late Lt. Colonel Jerry B. Killian retire from the military. I keep hearing conflicting stories. One being, that he retired in 1972 and would have had no dealings with the pilots in 1973.

Staldt retired in '72, not Killian. One of the memos written in 73 talks about Staldt putting pressure on Killian.

No it was Colonel Stoudt who retired in 1972

A blooger maybe got USAtoday to buy some bogus memos he pandered to later show what fools the media are.

Maybe a blogger started theis entire scenario and is just waiting to spring the trap onto Dan Rather, CBS and the entire old media. It is likely the two Castro/Hugo phone call pranksters out of Miami, they are even now yuking it up waiting on Ivan.
