Reply #39: Quite a bunch of assumptions....

You're "not happy" with news people trying to dig up the news?

Burkett is "damaging" the party? In what way? You've already tried and convicted him, based on smears from the right wing?

You think that Burkett may be the "lone criminal here?" That's quite a statement.

Here's an alternate view that's just as plausible as the guilt you assert. Killian typed the memos himself, just for his CYA file. That would explain why Knox never saw them. When forced to verify his orders to Bush to appear so that Denver could write the official orders for Bush's termination from flight status (after all, those are signed by a general), Killian pulls his private memos and has them inserted in Bush's official file.

Twenty-five years later, Bill Burkett overhears a conversation he shouldn't have and finds himself between a rock and a hard place--he hears something he knows he should report, but he'll get his ass handed to him by the governor of Texas, George W. Bush, if he does. So, he does a little dumpster diving just to protect himself.

People talk, and talk about him knowing about Bush's records, so he gets shipped off to Panama, wandering around the jungle until he catches some disease. When he comes back sick, vindictive bastards that they are, they don't allow him military treatment, hoping he'll expire and stop being a problem.

And, now, he's not only pissed, but righteous, as well.

And does something the DNC won't do on their own--gives supporting evidence to the record that Bush has been consistently lying about his ANG record. The right-wing machine whirls into action, asserting that the documents have been faked. Then, it's only a matter of time before the fax machine is located, and it's in his territory--so, the right wing then declares Burkett to be a forger of official records, even though no forgery has been proven.

Are you getting the drift here? You're buying into the spin. What did Ms. Knox say? "Bush didn't believe the rules applied to him." Nearly four years of him as president confirms that. This asshole has started two wars for his own purposes, killed tens of thousands of people, including many of our own, and you're saying that Burkett is the "lone criminal?"

Son, you've simply got to stop watching cable news.
