10-1 Burkett made them up himself, and his alleged true "source" does not exist. Or maybe its just some transparant semantics. I mean, theoretically, you could parse his statement so that the "actual source" he was protecting was himself.

The worst thing about this statement is that while they talk about alleged confirmation of the "substance" of the memos by Knox and Barnes, they don't bother to mention the substantive denials by Staudt and by Killian's own family. Still trying to present one-sided evidence....

Yeah, I think that's the obvious conclusion from what we know so far. It would be nice if he could be prosecuted, either under military or civilian law. That kind of trial is probably the only way we'll get past the media spin and find out what really happened.

In an earlier thread today, here, it was alleged that the true source might be Rather's daughter, Robin Rather from Texas, anything to that? Anybody got anything?

I don't think Burkett made them up himself because the doc's used some non TANG lingo. Wouldn't Burkett at least be able to use the correct wording since he was a Lt. Col? Someone, ever so clever, drafted up the documents and passed them on to Burkett is my guess. However, I think Burkett is the designated scape goat and is going to take the bullet on this.
