Why Kinkos instead of just handing them from Burkett to Mapes?
According to Burkett, he stored the ''documents'' at a location about 100 miles from his ranch, so possibly he didn't have the papers in his possession when he talked to Mapes? From the USA Today article:
After keeping the copies for a couple of days, he said he drove to a location he would not specify, about 100 miles from his ranch, to put them ''in cold storage.'' Burkett said he took the action because he believed the papers were politically explosive and made him nervous. ''I treated them like absolute TNT,'' he said. ''They looked to me like they were devastating.''
Then again, do we really know WHO faxed the papers? Could be Mapes or someone picked them up from Burkett at his ranch & eagerly faxed them to NYC...as in really anxious to deliver the goods to Dan?
Gee, about 100 miles sounds like Abilene to me.
