Alleged CBS Source May Carry Old Grudge Against Bush

"...Newsweek's report this week noted that CBS News sent producer Mary Mapes to Texas to interview Burkett, who lives in Baird, about 25 miles from Abilene. CBS News has refused to reveal the source of the four pages of documents. Burkett didn't respond to a call or e-mail message from CNSNews.com on Monday..."

Maybe.....!

Take a photograph of the handful of people who might have been there and interview the Kinkos staff on duty. We will know who this is in the next 24-48 hours, I bet.

The 76 year old secretary said the memo's were in "army" forms rather than TANG. Just more confirmation for your post.

Looks like the focus is narrowing. See-BS uses a disgruntled guardsman and forged documents to try and smear a sitting President.

Wanna bet Rather's daughter is in the mix? Isn't she involved with that Texans for truth charade?

We have thought as Burkett has been pushing this story, they needed documents...so he "provided" them..I think he had help. Texas dems have been trying to make this story"important" since 94.

Well, that seems to cement Burkett.

Ms. Mapes testified the transcripts were at her house, about 200 miles northwest of Jasper. She said she never had the raw videotapes in her possession and last saw them when Rather left for New York.

Let's think about this. CBS sends its producer, Mary Mapes to Texas to visit with Burkett in Baird. I'm willing to guess she flew into Abilene, home of the soon to be famous Kinko's. Surely she might of had a flew hours to kill at Kinko's. I bet there's even a Starbuck's next door to keep her supplied with caffeine.

I'm sorry, this thread has nearly a 1000 posts and I'm not going to pretend I'm the first to ask this question but I'm not reading every one of these posts.

So here it is. Can someone tell me where Mapes works and then draw a line on a map from Baird to her assignment desk and see if that line intersects Abilene?

Burkett, the paranoid, mentally unstable ex-guardsman, is almost certainly Rather's "unimpeachable source."
