On Friday, September 3, 2004, I was closing down my office and thinking about the Labor Day Weekend ahead when the phone rang and the caller asked whether I would be willing to work over the weekend on some important, time-sensitive documents. This was the beginning of my involvement in the examination of documents in the Bush National Guard Document/Memo-Gate news story.
This week, the book "Truth and Duty" by Mary Mapes, former CBS producer, was released. The book contains several inaccuracies in the description of my participation. Because the book is a public document, I see it as my duty to publicly state the truth about what I said and did.
Its a good fight to have from the standpoint of having the facts on our side. How well we will be able to mobilize the pajamadeen and get the facts out a second time is the issue.
It's not a good fight from the standpoint that the MSM will now use the misinformation in Mapes' book to justify her program and the MSM response. Like it or not they control the evening news and all the panel shows. Our facts will be dismissed as 'old news' or attacked by the MSM as Mapes' "new facts' become the story.
We've already seen Howard Kurtz's veiled acceptance of her story in the WAPO and the failure of a Fox news interviewer to really expose the misinformation.
Back to the barricades, citizens!
