Thanks much for this, Arrowhead : .....I think EVERYONE should see the web page that you provided.

I think EVERYONE should see the web page that you provided.

You gave me an idea. I may post that to every thread having his name involved.

Burket has no ties to DNC?????



But check out his lawyer, and you have a starting link!!!

Why hasn't the FBI marched into the CBS offices, confiscated the forgeries, arrested everyone, taken them down to the station, and made them squeal like the pigs they are until the truth came out?

Sorry, rant off, but if a REPUBLICAN had done this, it would be all Bush's fault, and the Dems would be howling for his impeachment. Where is Ashcroft? Where is the FBI? Why hasn't the WH come out and said this is a CRIME and people need to be PUNISHED?


It's important that the W.H. stay out of this mess!
I like to know what the legal ramifications are on falsifying Federal documents???

Interesting........thank you. Seems to do pretty well in the cattle biz, too. Was sort of curious (as you saw) how these two were so tight.

All I've heard is Travis County. The same one where Ben Barnes lives, IIRC.

Purged,my butt. Burkett is tied in here somehow...especially with the army not Air Force lingo in the memo. (or was the lingo the same for both Guards?)

I don't know if this was posted yet. I don't have time to read all threads...so I will post it here. It is THE INTERVIEW with Burkette. (transcript)

AN INTERVIEW WITH BILL BURKETT....

[GOPcapitalist]

CBS is trying to pin the Rathergate forgery rap on former National Guard officer Bill Burkett - who has no prominent ties to the Kerry campaign or the Democratic Party.

Oh yeah? Then where'd THIS come from?

Bill Burkett's spokesman David Van Os, Austin, TX, August 22, 2004.

[GOPcapitalist]

Van Os also represented Burkett in his original lawsuit against Bush over the guard. Now that was some far out stuff - Burkett was more or less claiming that Bush had used the Gov's office to dispatch his guard unit to Panama where he caught some wierd jungle fever as retaliation for refusing to go along with the plan to scrub Bush's guard records. The case was thrown out, but that's where much of this Bush National Guard story started.

I MISSED THE CBS EVENING NEWS
Can't find an account of what happened here.....did Rather have anything to say?

[Sofa King]

"A few days later, said Burkett, he saw Bush's file and documents from it discarded in a trash can."

I smell some 'rats. Any documents that they were trying to get rid of would have gone through the shredder first.
