Text of memos about Bush suspension

By The Associated Press  |  September 9, 2004

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Here are the texts of four memos indicating George W. Bush was suspended from flying during the Vietnam war because he failed to meet Texas Air National Guard standards and did not take his annual flight physical as required. Copies of the memos were provided by the White House.

Note that AP is claiming all four memos, including the two obviously faked later ones, came from the White House. I'd previously read that only two of the memos came from the White House, and the other two were mysteriously obtained by CBS. Is AP lying again?

It is what is known as a "half truth"... CBS provided the WH with copies of the docs one day before the story aired. The WH then released these same docs after the story aired.

AP is lying. The Whitehouse didn't have the Killian documents.

"Is AP lying again?"

From what I have been hearing all day, it would appear that they are. The "memos" as I understand it, were allegedly from Killiam's personal file and were "obtained" by CBS which faxed copies to the WH prior to airing the hit piece on Bush. The WH merely released with CBS sent them if I have followed this correctly.

Yeah, the odds of the WH providing CBS with damaging forged memoes is ZERO.

Is this fogging to make everyone confused. Surely the WH would not have been the source for these memos.

Sounds like the AP has gotten wind of the forgery issue and is trying to CKA ("Cover Kerry's A**).

They are spinnig as fast as they can. In the wake of the revelation these documents are fake they think they can spin it into a negative for the White House. Somebody please explain to me why the White House would knowingly release fake documents that hurt the President? This is becoming ludicrous.

Don't know how to tell. The Boston Globe version is unsigned.

The memos were faxed to the White House the day before they were released.

Its a non-story. When is AP going to demand Kerrys records. How can a news organisation be this partisan and get away with it?

Bush complained bitterly that the Pentagon sent his documents to CBS before sending them to the White House.

AP is doing two things - they know the documents are fake.
They are trying to point the forgery to the White House instead of CBS, Bartlett, and/or a Clintonista at the Pentagon.

CBS got caught. Big Time.
