CONTROVERSIAL TEXAS RANCHER SAYS LOCKHART WANTED DOCUMENTS //

The source of a disputed CBSNEWS report claimed Thursday that Kerry adviser Joe Lockhart tried to "convince me as to why I should give them the documents." Texas Army National Guard Lt. Col. Bill Burkett tells the FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM that he has suffered four seizures since being identified as CBS' source and dogged by the media... Developing...

This might explain the emphasis on "changed his story" in the Rather mea culpa: setting the groundwork for a credibility problem with Burkett to protect CBS, and erecting bulwark to innoculate Lockhart and others. 'He's a fruitcake liar.

Lucky for us he has always been on the (loony) side of the DUs.

I find it hard to believe that somebody wasn't taping some of this.

Too bad Burkett is insane. This charge could be pretty damning otherwise.

One interesting aspect of the characterization of the documents is they are forgeries. Forgery implies they are copies of 'real documents' when they are not. They are fakes, pure and simple. Nothing was forged the whole story was a fraud using fake documents. A distinction worth noting.

Once again, the 'Rats will reach back into their nuts and sluts playbook and Burckett will be written off as a nut.

May I interrupt this thread for a moment with a plea?

Seizures are unrelated to mental or emotional illness. I've heard people on television and read comments on these threads that show incredible ignorance on this.

Don't make FR look stupid. Burkett may have been hospitalized for depression or whatever, but seizures are not to be associated with mental illness.

"Bill Burkett tells the FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM that he has suffered four seizures since being identified"

I hope that some of these democratic party hacks that claim to be Burkett's allies help the guy. My sense is that the guy is in serious mental and physical condition and that all the high powered campaign/media types are dumping all blame on him. The document damage has been done and someone should see that he is getting proper medical attention and that he is kept out of the line of fire of Kerry/CBS camp until he is recovered.

Isn't everyone a rancher by definition in Texas?

But that couldn't have happened! Lockhart says they never discussed the documents, or the national guard! What possible reason would the man who hated Bush more than anyone have for telling a close advisor of Bush's opponent about the fact he had (forged) documents that would destroy Bush's credibility, and why would someone like Lockhart be at all interested in such a thing? I mean, it makes no sense!

Like the docs that are forgries and so nothing in them has credibility, so, too, is Burkett. Once you know that someone has lied,you must be skeptical of everything he says.

Joe Lockhart tried to "convince me as to why I should give them the documents."

If this is true, the Kerry camp has some big problems.
