It's about time. I hope they really will get to the bottom of it.

While Bill Burkett may have been the one to actually fax the memos to CBS, I highly doubt that he actually prepared the documents. Since he was in the TANG, he would have known the terminology, some of which has been incorrect in the phony memos.

Also, considering that he had a couple of nervous breakdowns, I really don't think he was up to it.

I think the DNC & Kerry campaign are using him, precisely, so that they can point to him, as the source, hoping that people won't look any further.

I think he has been running around badmouthing Bush, and the Dems made a deal with him, made up the memos, gave it to him, and then he in turn will "admit" that he provided the memos, claiming they are real, of course, or, if things go wrong, as they did, when people discovered that the memos are fake, they can feed him to the wolves, claiming that he must have made up the memos.

And if he commits "suicide", it will just be, a poor distrubed person, who already had two nervous break downs, finally succeeding in killing himself.

use by CBS News of apparently forged documents concerning the service record of President George W. Bush intended to unfairly damage his reputation and influence the outcome of the 2004 presidential election."

Who needs terror to turn the election when we have our own home-grown Communist 5th column?

This is the new journalistic standard.

You no longer have to attribute quotes to individuals. If you have a quote that you like, you can say that so-and-so said "Mr. X lied, he failed, he prayed on our fears." If Mr. X says that he never said that, you can still claim that the meaning is true, so that is good enough.

Here's one: "Dan Rather was quoted as saying that President George Bush was an unqualified SOB who stole the election and is ruining the country."

What? Dan never publicly said that? Office workers near him say that it is a sentiment that he was known to agree with, so I stand by the accuracy of the quote, even though he may never have actually publicly expressed it.

17. Nothing

Just says where they were faxed from. People are interested in who they came from.

Even if the docs are forgeries, the information they reflect is accurate.

Burkett was in the Texas National Guard, which is different from the Texas Air National Guard. The memo uses terminolgy of the Army/Texas National Guard, rather than Air Force/Texas Air National Guard.
