John Kerry for President - Key Unanswered Questions: Bush’s Record In The National Guard
That doesn't prove coordination any more than those documents lining up pixel for pixel with true-type-fonted MS Word documents prove they aren't typewritten.
Nothing proves anything for those who refuse to make unwanted inferences.
Note that the Kerry-Edwards press release repeatedly mentions a MEDICAL exam. I believe this is the correct term actually used by the Guard. The fake memos use the word PHYSICAL exam, which Rather repeats. Mrs. Knox said in all of her interviews that the fake memos used terms that the TANG would not have used.
IMO, Burkett would not have been so sloppy as to use the word PHYSICAL if he were the forger. I don't think he has anything to do with these memos. He is being set up as the fall guy, and his lawyer Van Os is in on it. Soooo....
What other prominent Texas lawyer might have plausibly gotten Van Os hooked up with Burkett?
What other person needed the memos to back up his own story, because otherwise nobody would believe him and Dan Rather would not have Put him on 60 Minutes?
What person has supposedly written a book about all of this, which would be pretty thin gruel without some documentation?
What person stood to gain the most from this story if it had not unraveled?
