Who did Burkett get the documents from??? Gee Dan, now there's a story for ya.
Yep, that would be the whole point, in a bunch of nothing he said nothing .. so I am no more informed than I was 5 minutes ago.
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....
Dan Rather makes another blunder. In tonight's broadcast he described Burkett as a former member of the Texas AIR National Guard. In fact, Burkett was in the Texas ARMY National Guard. Was Dan trying to obscure the fact the Burkett could have no personal knowledge of President Bush's service or was it just another example of Dan's sloppy journalism? I've reported, you decide.
Another question raised by Dan Rather's statement on tonight's news. Rather said that Burkett didn't come to him, but that CBS went to Burkett for the documents. How did CBS know that Burkett had the documents. This puts further weight that the Kerry campaign or the DNC was involved. Who else would have tipped off CBS that Burkett had some potentially damaging documents?
And Dan, who told you that Burkett had those documents, was it perhaps a certain ex senator whose name begins with C?
