I don't remember seeing BOTH Rather and Knox on the screen at the same time.

If that rememberence is true, maybe someone else was asking the questions (or some other questions) and Dan was edited in later.

Two digits apart...definitely the same guy.=======

If these numbers are in his home, my guess is:

He has 2 voice lines: 5&6.

Fax line or Computer: Line 7.

I havent seen confirmation that KMC1 Placed the call to the kinkos

Wh00ps I missed the nationalreview piece confirming Kevin Mc Collough placed the call. I was waiting for KMC1 to post verification but I guess Kevin is prety busy at the moment! L0L

I've seen people at work who have mirrors by their monitor so they can see who is sneaking up on them from behind.

If anyone does go to Kinko's, take your camera with you. You never know who might be reading these posts, and scurrying down there to erase the evidence. You just might catch them there.

She would get more business working at the Kinkos, however.

I can't keep Ma Richards and Geraldine Ferraro straight in my mind. They sure look alike. Has anyone ever, ever seen them together?

I'd think that maybe Kinko's is locked up tighter than a drum after this revelation. Seems like the feds would be wanting to take a look-see at those hard drives.

Hey, speak more repectfully of Wittaker Chambers

I am reading Witness and absolutely love Whittaker Chamber's story. In fact, I find it instructive for these times.

Ya know, as explosive as this story could have been (if they weren't busted by finer minds), I can't imagine why those docs were faxed from a Kinko's. And if this supposedly unimpeachable source was "known" by Rather, then why risk the Kinko's and the trail it would leave. Wouldn't they have met in person? It sounds more like document laundering to me.

Bill Burkett, the former National Guardsman who was recently quoted in the Dallas Morning News saying that then-Governor Bush's chief of staff, Joe Allbaugh, told the National Guard chief to get the Bush file and make certain "there's not anything there that will embarrass the governor." Burkett provides a lot of background information to bolster his claim

Dan Bartlett and Danny James came to him at Camp Mabry in 1993, right after Bush was inaugurated as Governor, and deleted portions of Bush's TANG file. I asked Gough what he believed was scrubbed? 'I think quite a bit. I think all his time in Alabama.'".

Burkett says Conn was fired from the Guard the same day, presumably for advising him to threaten the governor's office with information about the missing files.

he explained his "clarification" in 2000 that, as he puts it, seemed to "over-retract": basically, he got scared by the attention and backed down. He now admits it was a mistake.

SNIP

The first (partial) corroboration is from George Conn. According to the New York Times, he declined specific comment on the charges but said via email, "I know LTC Bill Burkett and served with him several years ago in the Texas Army National Guard. I believe him to be honest and forthright. He 'calls things like he sees them.'"

SNIP

Jim Moore, a longtime Texas reporter (and, granted, hardly a fan of Bush), has talked with Burkett extensively for a soon to be published book titled Bush's War For Reelection: Iraq, the White House, and the People.

It's possible that the reason he/she was at a kinko's was to run the document through a copy machine several times to make it look old.
