Wild as it may seem - it may be time to look for a link with Michael Moore. He obviously didn't mind manufacturing things for his "documentary", maybe he contributed / collaborated in the forgeries. After all he has been harping on the AWOL thing the loudest and longest. Perhaps a link through Mapes??

Inquiring minds want to know: What did Mr Moore know and when did he know it?

".. burned the originals in the parking lot ...."

How coveeeenient! < /Church Lady>

The law ought to seize his computer, if he has one, sift that hard drive and see what falls out. Burkett ought to volunteer his coumputer/s for examination. What does he have to lose? He already has a bulletproof insanity defense and a well connected Democrat for an attorney.

The bookrights alone ought to make him financially!

---Is he saying someone named Lucy Ramirez just met him on the street and gave him the memos? ---

He said he was called by Lucy Ramirez about the documents. When he went to meet her to pick them up, some unknown man gave them to him.
I think he got these documents from some one of the yellow dog Democrats there in Texas, that he respects and doesn't want to give him up. These guys refer to one another as "brother" and act like secret society members.
It's a shame really the way everyone is treating this man like a patsy.

“There is something I have that I want to make sure gets out,” he quoted her as saying.

Maybe his is telling the truth or maybe Lucy is his Nancy Peloci Democratic Opperative sexual fantacy with a little south of the border spice to add to his dillusions.

Nah, this guy made this on his own PC. You know I wouldn't even be surprised if he made them at Kinkos.

I am well aware that this is likely a snipe hunt. Burkett would have been stupid enough to write this himself.

That is if this isn't a curveball to get us all to look somewhere's else. Personally I think it's a smokescreen.

Hundreds true. I'll bet not a single Lucy Ramiraz ever spoke to Burkett.

He is thowing an imaginary name out to hide the fact that he forged the documents and ran then through the copier at kinko's to age them.

Unbelievable, because it is not logical to have burned the "originals" and he lied to Rather about the source.

Here he got the information he was waiting years for to burn Bush and he himself destroys the only thing that can authenticate him and make his story true. He could have saved his good name and burned the President at the same time but what does he do? Destroys the evidence backing up his own story.

Peterson will walk before this clown does....He better start sqealing like a pig soon....

I hope old Dan is sleeping real well tonight in his pajamas dreaming about his legacy..And he had the gaul to ask the Fox News reporter if he was duped working for Fox Arrogant AH.

"This guy Burkett is a nut."

Yeah, I had to stop and think about that for a second. I am not going to believe anything this guy says until something he says pans out, which hasn`t happened yet.

This Ramirez thing is bogus.

Lt. Col. BIll Burkett is a decorated Vietnam era veteran who served 28 years in senior command and staff positions within the US Army and Army National Guard. While serving on the National Guard staff for then Governor George W. Bush, Burkett broke ranks and exposed an ongoing scam of reporting over 1,700 soldiers as present (Ghost Soldiers- USA Today, 2001) and fraudulent readiness reporting (USA Today) as well as the shredding of George W. Bush's own military service files. Burkett was one of five subjects in James Moore's book, "Bush's War for ReElection," and one of the sources for information in the Michael Moore's film "Farenheit 911." He is decorated soldier and recognized military process expert.

From end bio of:
"Bush lies about his service, smears Kerry's and seeks exoneration for the Abu Ghraib brass"
By Bill Burkett
Online Journal Contributing Writer


...one of the sources for information in the Michael Moore's film "Farenheit 911."...

The complete irony will be if it is the Patriot Act that uncovers the entire conspiracy with Burkett, DNC, Kerry, and a cast of hundreds.
