One thing we do know is that Burkett can tell a lot more than he's told so far.... as of August 13 he was publishing a review article on Democrats.com in which he asserted that he knew of no documentation from Killian to be used against Bush, yet this week he has claimed he received the forgeries way back on March 3. Whether Burkett is the forger or simply the intermediary, this article suggests that a lot happened after August 13 that Burkett is lying about:
"I [Burkett] have found no documentation from LTC Killian's hand or staff that indicate that this unit was involved in any complicit way to either cover for the failures of 1LT Bush, or to provide him pay or certification for training not completed. On the contrary, LTC Killians' remarks are rare..."

Interesting on the dates. I think Burkett had his own "handwritten notes" that he always references - and then got HELP from the Kerry camp to type them up and add the signature.
Then, wa la, he has more documents to pass on to Mapes who is trying desperately to both nail Bush (so to speak) and to get a scoop.
We all know if Burkett had these documents before, or had the ability to fabricate them and get them to Bob Ferkit or the media, HE WOULD HAVE DONE SO YEARS AGO!
Somebody working the "Fortunate Son" issue or Terry McAuliffe's "Bush AWOL" line was assigned to help Burkett launder the fakes to Mapes.
