Remember Lockhart’s story that he called Burkett at the request of CBS News and all they discussed were the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth?

Lockhart slipped up by admitting this. Why would Burkett, a former Texas Air National Guard member with Bush have any concern about the Swift Boat Veterans? The line is slipped in the story so casually that it comes across as providing an alibi for Lockhart.

It doesn't make sense that Lockhart and Burkett would have anything of substance to discuss for 3 - 4 minutes about the Swift Boat vets. What could Burkett (AIR National Guard) have to say about them (US Navy) that would materially impact their claims about Kerry? In a word - nada. Lockhart just gave the FEC a link between the Kerry campaign and the admitted source (to date) of the forged NG memos.

This story just keeps getting better.

Burkett was NOT Air Guard, he was Army Guard.

As one other has pointed out, Burkett was ARMY, not AIR, but that is not why I am posting to you.

I think the "connection" with the Swift Boat Veterans is in the "tit for tat" arena. Kerry's Vietnam fabrications are being attacked by the Swift Boat Veterans, so Kerry has to attack GWB with ... [whatever Burkett has].
