The noose tightens. And the Washington Post is right down in the trenches with the pajama journalists. Who'd a thunk it?

Can't be Burkett. Burkett would have been an easy fall guy for their troubles. As soon as this backfired, they would have hung Burkett themselves and they know of his unbalanced mental state. CBS has stonewalled and vehemently defended the source. CBS actions during MemoGate is not consistent with the source being Burkett. Ben Barnes is the logical choice. He is in Kerry's trusted circle, but yet. is seen as an outsider. It would make Watergate small in comparison if Ben Barnes is the source because of his ties with Dan Rather and Kerry. This is the only reasonable choice for their adamant defense of the source and forged documents.

I have a bad feeling about the reference to new documents to be released from the White House. That can't be good.

To me, even if every one of Rather's accusations were true, it wouldn't reflect on who W is today. The Dims, however, would make an issue out of homework he forgot to turn in in 3rd grade.

LOL Yes! Perhaps the President can find an old unfinished assignnment or two from elementary school and "level" with the American people. "Yes, I did not finish my spelling asignment." ROTFLOL That would be so funny. Too bad that being president cuts down on ones latitiude to tell jokes ;)

In a related development, White House press secretary Scott McClellan hinted that more documents regarding Bush's National Guard service may soon be released. Asked whether officials in the White House have seen unreleased documents, McClellan called that "a very real possibility." Other officials with knowledge of the situation said more documents had indeed been uncovered and would be released in the coming days.

Any thoughts about this little teaser?

My suspicion is that these documents will either be 'good' for Bush or won't shed any new light on things. Why? Because W has started to go on the offensive on this issue - at least via surrogates.

By the way, anyone who says the WH has control over these documents has their head up their asses. The document centers are staffed by career civil servants, who are usually left-leaning Democrats.

They've buried the story on A6! Shouldn't this be frontpage ABOVE the fold?

I bet he takes a few down with him. This is wire fraud with malice for starters.

I think the charge that Bush was smacked down because he refused an order to take a physical, or evaded service and was smacked down for that reason, is a rather weak charge, and team Bush may have the goods to smack that down. Just a guess. THere really is no way to address the charge that the brass gave Bush a pass. Indeed, they may have well done so. It won't be the first time or the last, for the politically connected. The brass are very sensitive and skilled about currying favors with the connected.

Maybe the WH has the real memos about his transfer to Alabama and whatnot. That would be a big surprise.

They have continued to look in old files at the Pentagon and in Texas and Alabama.

Doesn't really matter; I think the White House will put them out anyway.

More likely Burkett. Ben Barnes lives in Austin, which is 250 miles from Abilene with no direct interstate between them.

Plus, Burkett is represented by David Van Os. This connects him to all the hard-left slimeballs who constitute the Texas Rat party.

aint that the truth.

It took a friend of mine about 2 years to get a replacement dd214 a ways back. He missed a semester of college. The school had to waiver him. He got the stupid form in about 3 weeks before he graduated.

There are good civ. govt workers.....but not too many of them work at that type a facility

Couple of points:

They have rental computers at most Kinko's, the original may still be on a hard disk at the store. If the forger used the computers, he would have probably had to give his credit card to buy time.

I just thought of something.

Last week, Ben Barnes went overboard trying to silence his daughter.

Had is assistant send out a false press release...and had her falsely identify herself as Amy's friend in an attempt to cancel the Hannity interview....

HMMM, Howlin....it may be that Barnes sits at the root of this after all.

Attention Abeline area reporters here is how to find the story that will sink CBS.

As a former employee of Kinko's copies in Florida, I believe, it would be relatively simple to find if copies of the original documents are stored on any of the rental computers (both Mac and IBM) available at Kinko's Copy Center locations.

Computers in the southeast are rented via Credit Card or Kinko's Copy Card, a stored value device created by American Express.

It should be simple to use undelete utilities that are available for Macs and PCs to search for lines of text in deleted MS word files.

Unless the computers experience heavy traffic, it is likely that "deleted" files are not actually gone, but simply hidden from view in the hard drive's directory.

Get there fast, because this situation can be quickly "corrected" by store staff.

In addition, faxes made from the store can be confirmed to the exact time, due to the fact that fax machines have a log that allows the store to count "clicks" as a cost and revenue driver as an accounting tool.

Open 24 hours. The sooner you get there the better. I'm sure you'll find Mr. Burkett sweating bullets by the appropriate computer doing his best MacBeth impersonation.

Everyone is assuming Burkett did the faxing from Kinko's. But it could have been CBS' producer faxing the documents to another producer in Austin, after visiting Bill Burkett for his unrelated interview.

We should not jump to conclusions. Especially if the DNC wants us to.
