Burkett sounds like the "perfect patsy": he's appears to be paranoid, and is clearly obsessed with Bush and his NG records. So under the guise of "reassembling" Bush's NG records, some operative conveniently passes on to Burkett some bogus documents that "confirm" all the bad stuff that Burkett and the Democrats have long suspected. Burkett takes the bait of course, and runs with it.
The rest is history. And if it gets traced back to Burkett, he'll won't be able to prove who gave the forged docs to him.
The real forgers have successfully used Burkett as a "cut-out" .....
That's my theory du jour.
Burkett is the DNC's Oswald.
You, sir, have a devious mind - I like it!
