So now it starts. It looks like they are starting to cover up the trail of the memos through the sKerry campaign.

"I couldn't swear to it whether he used the term documents or information," Mr. Cleland said. "It was some kind of stuff, some kind of information he wanted to get to the campaign, or something, regarding Bush's National Guard service. I referred him up to somebody in the campaign."

Sounds plausible. SOP.

Campaign officials said Mr. Cleland had referred Mr. Burkett to someone at the campaign who passed his message on to the research department, where the message was set aside amid the deluge of other calls.

Yeah...sure...Someone mentions "national guard" and "Texas" and they don't get all tingly? Doubt it...

Remember the American Prowler article that came out quickly once the scandal broke? the one that reports Kerry campaigners had the documents but some had doubts? Maybe there was something to that story...

Exactly. The author of the memos is not as important, if the memos got to CBS with DNC or Kerry campaign knowledge.

At this point, I assume somebody in the DNC or Kerry campaign called CBS and said, "Hey, there's a guy in Texas you should talk to." Subsequent events follow naturally.
