CBS focused not on the Barnes interview, but on the personal documents kept by George Killian, the President's CO.
At one point, Killian writes a memo entitled "CYA" where he details how he felt that Bush was going over his head regarding his requirements.
Then, Killian issues a direct order for the President to take a physical, and when Bush does not, he issues a flight suspension for failure to take the physical and for violating regulations.
What it leaves you wondering is why a commanding officer would take and leave personal notes on a Guardsman. I would ask Killian, if he was alive "Why would you take home personal memos like that?" The inference is not good.
There may be a reasonable, and legal explanation for all of this, but it will not be spun that way.
Frankly, the President's spokesman didn't do such a great job.
Thanks.
BTW, are you saying Killian is dead?
Where did Dan say these memos were found?
