5. shame on Blitzer

for challenging Mints' claim that no one had seen Bush on the base, saying there "was a witness" (Calhoun) who had seen him.

I vaguely remember this 'witness' being discredited awhile back, but then a CNN anchor's assertion that there was a witness seems to rehabilitate Calhoun.

2. I think it's been reported he has Alzheimers or is unstable....

in some ways? I recall reading about him but he didn't seem credible at all...

3. no, the commander of the 187th is the one with alzheimers

but calhoun has been discredited.

the commander, incidently, never remembered even seeing bush. (i'm forgetting his name)

4. From "Deserter" by Ian Williams

"Calhoun, a self-confessed "staunch Republican" also managed to see Bush on duty with the 187th variously "at least six" or "eight to ten times" between May and October - before he applied for duty there on September 15th."

This book is $10.00 at Amazon - everyone should go buy it.

Also a group offered $3500.00 to anyone at Dannelly who remembers seeing Bush there. No one including Calhoun has collected.
