Memos on Bush Are Fake but Accurate, Typist Says

Memos on Bush Are Fake but Accurate, Typist Says
By THE NEW YORK TIMES
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/15/politics/campaign/15guard.html?pagewanted=print&position=

HOUSTON, Sept. 14 - The secretary for the squadron commander purported to be the author of now-disputed memorandums questioning President Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard said Tuesday that she never typed the documents and believed that they are fakes.

But she also said they accurately reflect the thoughts of the commander, Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian, and other memorandums she typed for him about Mr. Bush. "The information in them is correct," the woman, Marian Carr Knox, now 86, said in an interview at her home here. "But I doubt,'' she said, pausing, "it's not anything that I wrote because there are terms in there that are not used by Guards, the format wasn't the way we did it. It looks like someone may have read the originals and put that together."

"We did discuss Bush's conduct and it was a problem Killian was concerned about," Mrs. Knox said. "I think he was writing the memos so there would be some record that he was aware of what was going on and what he had done." But, she said, words like "billets," which appear in the memorandums, were not standard Guard terms.

Mrs. Knox, who was the secretary for the squadron at Ellington Air Force Base from 1957 to 1979, said she recalled Mr. Bush's case and the criticism of him because his record was so unusual. Mr. Killian had her type memorandums recording the problems, she said, and he kept them in a private file under lock and key. She said she had never voted for Mr. Bush because she disliked his record in office.

2. She seems to think the memos were "reconstructed".

As if someone actually saw memos like this and tried to reconstruct them from memory. Although these memos have nothing to do with anything they will get Bush off the hook. Again!

4. Under the Carpet....Next Subject...
Bush defrauds the country again.

I believe the secretary and not the family. What the hell do I know about my husband's documents at work, or my children. Unless the son Gary Killian, a republican and who also served in the Guard, is holding all his father's original documents and he was the one who helped in the forgery.

The bush regime are out to win no matter what and the media holds them up on a pedestal. What kind of democracy is this?
