I am calling for a full Post 47 treatment of this story.  Who are these folks (both the mutineers and the stateside mouthpieces)?  What are their connections to the Democrats in general and to the extreme left and the Kerry campaign in particular?  Who are the folks pushing this and, very importantly, are they working from a recognizable script?  Do they use common phrases or references that are just a bit too coincidental.

Those with contacts at sites like Powerline or in the free press, feed anything good on this to the folks who can trumpet it properly.  But to be effective, if there is anything here, it needs to be done quickly.  I'm calling on those who are here, this brain trust, to find out if this is a set up and, if so, scream it from the roof tops.  If this is an organized plot to incite a mutiny in time of war, that folks, is treason.

My feeling is these people have been subjected to the Kerry Rhetoric of calling the war a mistake and have deemed it appropriate that John Kerry if he were president would support such action by the military .... I mean John Kerry did say the war is a mistake... How can we be asking these men to die for a mistake...

Report it fair and balanced.

Sunday might be a poor time for a call to action, especially in the morning. I f you don't get the results here you anticipate repost later.

From what I see of your evidence, it looks very circumstantial. If you have something concrete anyone could run with it would be a great help.

Sometimes it seems that our 'shire' is in need of a scouring.

Thanks!

If this group, the winter soldier dudes, can be connected to this faux mutiny, and MSM picks it up, Kerry is so toasted.

That would be a reference to Buchead's post that began "Memogate" with Dan Rather's forged documents.

Yep...I agree. If you see anything more about this, please ping me. My "to-do" list just caught up with me, and I probably won't be back until this evening. Thanks! :-)

doesn't look circumstantial to me,,the clue, the best one is Citizen Soldier. Paydirt there!

If the military puts these guys under pressure, a court martial might be nice, they will talk.

Ping above to spread the word,,this is big.

I thought the same thing when I heard this. It stinks out loud of set-up. Good job on the early research.

If this is shown to be what we think it is, I want to see REAL treason trials with REAL consequences. This is a step way over the line

I've suspected that this was a set-up from the start. I think the Army is downplaying it so as not to give ammunition to the people who set it up, but I sure hope some serious investigation is being done, mostly regarding the ties of these reservists to people like Bennie Thompson.

I'm sure Post #47 refers to the infamous reply by Buckhead to Howlin here. This was the start of the See BS dan blather memogate being exposed as forged documents.

See Post #47 here.

I agree that I haven't found anything concrete. That's why I've posted and asked for help. I'm going to continue to look, but I'm assuming that there will be others with different (and better?) resources than I might have.

I'm not in Buckhead's league, but his original post 47 was a simple declarative that the CBS memos looked like they had the wrong fonts for an early 70s typewriter. That unleashed some truly amazing resources. I was hoping to tap into that same well.

didn't Kerry have one of those guys from winter soldier on his staff for a while,,was it Fournier? I am hitting a memory block but people were riled about it.

The swift boat guys might be interested in this along with little green footballs.

This is going to be a pajamaratti morniing, I can tell.

Anyone have any info on any of the troops and/or parents involved? Later today I'll try some googling; others might have better resources.
