It's obvious that the fraud came out of Texas, but it was an orchestrated effort with multiple players, who were desperate to substantiate old allegations that were never backed up by any evidence. My guess is that the guy who heads that 527, Texans for truth and his buddies at MoveOn made the actual documents, using information from multiple sources. I believe that they passed the documents to the Kerry campaign and told them to use them as they saw fit, which was to disperse them to CBS and USA Today. The memos were only the first of a two part hit on Bush that was planned. The second part was to be the October Surprise, the release of another document, which indicates that there was another pilot that was grounded at the same time as Bush, for using cocaine, and that Bush was guilty by association, but his records were scrubbed. (I learned all this on DU)

Thanks for the details. I really don't care what Bush did then. He came clean and more than made up for whatever ill-spent youth that he experienced. And he married Laura. No one who planned to continue living irresponsibly would marry her. She's classy, out-spoken and no "shrinking violet" (words of President Bush).

Kerry has made his past the center of his campaign; Pres. Bush has done the exact opposite. And Kerry has continued to live on the path that he began in his youth. The president made a complete U turn.
