Special thanks goes to ratherbiased.com and Cableguy for getting the word out.
Great work. I was wondering if Cleland's phony stunt taking the letter to the President's ranch had any ties with the memos.
nicely done.

Moore's agenda:

NBC's Today, only after giving a full airing to
Burkett's claim, noted how the Boston Globe found a witness who
contradicts him......key witness to some of the events described by Burkett has
told the Globe that the central elements of his story are false.
George O. Conn, a former chief warrant officer with the Guard and
a friend of Burkett's, is the person whom Burkett says led him to
the room where the Bush records were being vetted. But Conn says
he never saw anyone combing through the Bush file or discarding
records.
"I have no recall of that," Conn said. "I have no recall of that
whatsoever. None. Zip. Nada."
Conn's recollection also undercuts another of Burkett's central
allegations: that he overheard Bush's onetime chief of staff, Joe
M. Allbaugh, telling a Texas Guard general to make sure there were
no embarrassments in the Bush record.
Burkett says he told Conn, over dinner that same night, what he
had overheard. But Conn says that, although Burkett told him he
worried that the Bush record would be sanitized, he never
mentioned overhearing the conversation between Allbaugh and
General Daniel James III.
Burkett's allegations also will be a major
focus of a book on Bush to be published next month.
But the book's author, James Moore, a former Houston TV news
correspondent, concedes he never interviewed some of the key
players who could have verified Burkett's charges, including Conn
and retired National Guard Colonel John Scribner -- the officer
Burkett says he saw removing items from the Bush file....

Fact is, there are a LOT of VERY serious issues that should be pushed HARD OTHER than the documets. The other issues expose HOW THE MEDIA WING OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY ACTUALLY WORKS! CBS' "gold standard" included:
1. The widow and son were IGNORED
2. Document experts were IGNORED
3. Hodges was MISLED
4. The old secretary was NOT INTERVIEWED until afterward
5. Staudt, who had his character attacked in one memo, was never contacted
6. The opinions of the experts were MISREPRESENTED
7. The swift boat veterans were MALIGNED
8. George Bush's roomate DURING HIS GUARD YEARS, who AGREED TO SPEAK TO THEM WAS TURNED DOWN BECAUSE HE WAS TOO "PRO BUSH"...
And the list goes on. Fact is, this was a HIT PIECE ON BUSH. And just because dnCBS owns up to fake documents does NOT CLEAR THEIR PROPAGANDA / DNC REPORTING!!
bump for later
Great post!
"You're traveling through another dimension,
a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind;
a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are
that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead-
- your next stop . . .
The Twilight Zone!"
The point of the seeBS hit piece was to lend enough credence to kitty kelly's book so that not only would the drug charges stick, but to add credibility to other whacko claims. The seeBS story was to act as the trigger to ignite the already carefully positioned powder.
If the above is true, besides the assorted felonies involved, it means to me there are still unexploded packets of powder that have not yet been revealed. Using kitty's screed as a guidebook, we may be able to discern those powder packets and diffuse them. The rats will still use them, I believe, even though their power has been severely diminished. It's all they have left. This plan was the October surprise sprung early due to panic.
Now is no time to get complacent. More is on the way. Let's help it backfire as badly as memogate has.
Great Chart, This Web of Deception by Dan Rather/Bill Burkett is hard to keep up with, it just seems to be really getting bigger and bigger.
Texas Monthly magazine needs to get a clue...Cleland is involved in helping the Kerry Campaign focus their "Fortunate Son" ads on this, pushing the "upcoming 60 minutes story" to the media with the Kerry campaign...The dems are standing behind the story being true....Essentially CBS does,too.
Thanks BTTT for hearty laugh later.
