AMERICAN SPECTATOR

"....Just recently, Barnes, at the request of the Kerry campaign, made a videotape at a fundraising event in Texas that was distributed to reporters by Kerry operatives. On it, Barnes explained that, as lieutenant governor, he had recommended Bush for National Guard service. One problem: Barnes wasn't lieutenant governor at the time. But this would be quibbling.
[bold mine]
Okay, it may be unsourced and Barnes is on record that he was unaware he was being taped. But Barnes is on record as saying the complete opposite of what he said in this video. My money is on the The Prowler.
Not proof, but suggestive of just the type of collusion we have suspected.
There will be no one fact we uncover which will be the smoking gun. This is just one piece of a big puzzle. We can and will make rather rue the day he uttered the word "Preponderance"
From another thread.....
Did Dan tip his hand?
Dan Rather from the NY Observer story:
He did not reveal the name of the source, but Mr. Rather said he was a man who had been reluctant to come forth with them because he’d been harassed by political operatives. "Whether one believes it or not, this person believed that he and his family had been harassed and even threatened,"
And from today's NY Times:
In a book published this year, "Bush's War for Re-election" by James Moore, Mr. Burkett is quoted as reporting having received numerous death threats, including telephone messages and a bullet with his name on it that he says he found in his mailbox. More recently, he told people that his son's car had been burned.
