excerpt from article: "Bill Burkett, a former commander in the Texas Air National Guard"

He was Army and not Air. Dan Rather likes to leave out that part.
Army is correct.......
Burkett worked for ARMY National Guard HQ out of Washington, DC. He was assigned a special project with HQ Texas National Guard for a short period, where he supposedly overheard the conversation about scrubbing documents. His 'corroborator' of that story said he never heard anyone talk about or actually do anything with Bush's records. Although he does recall Burkett blabbing about it.
BB was TX Army NG - NOT AIR (article is in error)
As a former (retired) member of the TEXAS AIR National Guard, I do take some offence of him being refered to Air Nat'l Guard.
You are correct -
Bill Burkett : Texas Army National Guard
George W Bush : Texas Air National Guard
Dan Rather's "sorry" speech on BCS again said Bill Burkett was in the Air National Guard -
After all the alleged research and fact checking after Dan Rather and CBS were exposed we are now expected to believe that Dan Rather and his producers and editors have not again wilfully, knowingly, and with deliberate malice and intent to deceive CBS viewers and listeners told another big lie to tie Bill Burkett to Lt. George W. Bush as if BB urkett was in the same military branch with easy access to "alleged" Bush documents from 1972?
Rather and CBS cannot be that stupid can they?
Rather and CBS know full well Burkett was Texas army National Guard while Lt. George W. Bush was in the Texas Air National Guard.
Is Rather's and CBS' excuse now that they are incompetent and inaccurate and idiots even after knowing they were under the scrutiny of Buckhead, Freepers, Powerline, Drudge, Newsmax, and the Washington Post for many days?
The Kerry/CBS/DNC fraud and conspiracy continues!
