I find it hard to believe that Mapes isn't part of this, since she's been working on this for four years. I believe they decided to create the docs to fit their concocted story. I also believe Daddy's little girl, Robin' is part of it as well. They may want to pin the whole thing on the crazy loonboy, but, it's not going to fly. If I were Burkett, I'd be worrying about Arkancide.

I posted this in a different thread:

---There were earlier reports of these documents floating around the DNC as early as April, and that it was decided to pass them on to the Kerry campaign. The Kerry campaign might then have decided to save them for a possible October surprise.

In August however, the Kerry campaign was reeling from the Swift Boat attacks and is falling in the polls. They desperately needed to change the subject. Through, possibly the Democratic Party in Texas, they make these documents available to Burkett, making him think he's discovered something big. He tries contacting the Kerry campaign and they put him on to Cleland, who pongs him back to the Kerry campaign.

Now the documents have been laundered and the Kerry campaign coordinates with CBS for the 60 Minutes spot and the DNC for operation Fortunate Son.

Burkett is just a pawn in their game.---

Hello,

OK, so you are a liberal "journalist" and you have been working on a "story" about a sitting president in his 1st term for 4 years. You started right before this president (R) was elected, or very soon after. The next election is coming up, and this "story" will mean nothing if he is reelected, after he is reelected. What do you do? FOUR whole years devoted to something that will mean nothing in a few weeks?
Answer: you conspire with the Dem nominee and loads of Dem operatives to make up what is needed to complete and SELL your "story". Make sure that Kitty Kelley is booked on NBC's Today show four days later for a grand total of three mornings to shore up the why after the what. Air it. Lie about the original lie. Repeatedly. Pretend to say sorry, without ever really saying sorry. The upside for the country: CBS outed itself.

Glad to be here, MOgirl
