Exactly, they aren't covering for a disgrutled ex-guardsman who has it in for Bush. The only explanation for the cover-up is that they are protecting the "big fish" up the food chain of the DNC.

I agree. CBS would toss the lowly Burkitt to the wolves in a heartbeat. They would have every plausible reason to do so. No. Their stonewalling means the risk/benefit ratio implicates someone MUCH higher up! My gut says this is the denouement, Phase I. And sometimes, historically, you can just get the lucky break. I mean, generally nobody knew there was that wildcard tape recorder in the oval office during Watergate. Who could have imagined the carefully preserved "blue dress" DNA repository?
I think you have it nailed...don't believe Burkett actually did the forgery...he wouldn't have made the obvious mistakes in military terminology. Also one of the doc's uses the word "billets" to explain a personnel position..not an Army term. That term is only used by Navy and USMC folks. If I may hazard a guess the doc's themselves were cooked up by the DNC by a pimply faced DNC staffer overseen by someone who may have been an EM in the Navy or USMC.... But of course Lurch was a Navy guy and maybe the big fish himself did the final editing...that would explain Rather falling on his own spear. Given the Dim's campaign tactics so far the answer probably lies in looking for the most ignorant avenue that the Dumbcrat's could take. That will lead to the "Yellow brick road" and the big house at the end......
