Dear areafiftyone,
I think that blaming it all on Mr. Burkett may not be the best idea, as he does have ties to the Texas Democrat Party, and is not non-partisan.

From these sites, we see that Mr. Burkett has known Mr. Van Os for at least a few years, has been active in Democrat Party internal politics, and even was the head of Mr. Van Os' steering committee when Mr. Van Os ran for chairman of the Texas Democrat Party.
If the blame is put on Mr. Burkett, then the next question must be, with whom else in the Democrat Party did he work?

Why yes, Guardsmen that don't even know the military regs in effect at the time. Keep digging C=BS
A DEMOCRATIC guardsman, that is...

LoL! - CBS is eating their own rats (TX AG Lt Col. Bill Burkett flunky) - ping.
The more shi* CBS slings - the more shi* comes back on them.
aaaa hhhaaaaa aaahHHHaaa aaa.a.a.a.a.a.a. - soooooo SWEEEEEEET!
(The sinking of the Bismark - CBS.)
I don't believe it. Burkett is supposedly former NG and would know military lingo. That is unless he has gone downright bonkers.
The lies just keep on coming...Rather cant help himself...
no wonder he likes Kerry so much...
Rather knew what he what he was doing...he planned on using what he thought was his
'reputation for honesty' and betrayed the trust of his audience...
He figured on sneaking this buy folks and using his big lie to take down GW Bush and elect Kerry..
He did do a good job of taking attentin away from the Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth though..the focus is off them right now...and on See? B.S.

Hellooo?
Earth calling Newsmax...
I hate Bill CLinton... he legitimized a foul technique that has us parsing words and unraveling how a statement can be both true and fundamentally fraudulent.
The slimeball had someone else do the forgeries!
1) These are forgeries of federal documents.
2) CBS almost certainly got them from the DNC/Kerry campaign.
3) CBS not only didn't properly investigate their authenticity, but "sugarcoated" the whole story by using the forgeries and selected testimonials, while ignoring witnesses and relatives who debunked the story.
4) For the second time in five years, the Democrats have tried to steal a Presidential election.
OK, given ALL that, I want to know:
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?
Newsmax blew it. They didn't delve into Mr. Van Os. They should have.
and during the course of six weeks not once did CBS provide the docs and information to Kamp Kerry and the DNC so they could make Operation Fortunate Son?
CBS must still believe in the Easter Bunny.
A few days later, said Burkett, he saw Bush's file and documents from it discarded in a trash can. He said he recognized the documents as retirement point summaries and pay forms.
Yeah sure.....they're going to sanitize the file and just throw "incriminating evidence" into the trash can so that someone like Burkett could find it! These people are so transparent. Unfortunately with the dumbing down of most of our citizenry, the sheeple will believe this.
'... was the most telling non-denial to surface so far in the Rathergate imbroglio -
a refusal by an unnamed senior CBS executive to deny that Rather got the Killian forgery from the Kerry campaign."
Until proven otherwise and this scandal deserves a serious investigation by LE to unravel all the threads-
I am of the belief that the Kerry campaign and the DNC are involved.
The ancient media would have tossed the coverage of Ivan to the back burner and would be interrupting regular programming with breathless updates-
if a scandal like this was brushing up to the RNC and the Bush campaign.
Guess the new media will have to do the heavy lifting, yet again.
Absolutely no one who was purging a file of damaging information would discard the documents in a trash can. The information would have been destroyed, not discarded.
Burned, perhaps. Shredded, perhaps. Tossed in the trash can, absurd.
Sent to my local CBS affiliate station.
To whom it may concern:
Dan Rather, on CBS 60 Minutes, presented fake documents to the American people. The documents have been proven to be fakes yet Dan Rather continues to stand by his lies.
Dan Rather also attended and was a Keynote Speaker at a Democrat Fundraiser in Texas, further proving his bias. Dan Rather has acknowledged this bias (and apologized) in a recent interview with Geraldo Rivera.
Dan Rather of CBS is incapable of presenting the news is an unbiased fashion. I'm convinced this led to the serious breach of journalistic ethics regarding the use of forged documents. I simply can no long believe a word broadcast on CBS News.
Biased reporting of the news is unacceptable and deserves an appropriate response. Thus, I am programming my television set to delete all CBS affiliated channels. Your station and your advertisers will not show in my household.
I will put the CBS channels back on my televisions when Dan Rather apologizes for using his position with CBS for his partisan political antics and resigns.
Best Regards,
The FBI has got to get Burkett and put the squeeze on him.
Does anyone know where Rather's daughter lives in Texas?
