My thought is that this has gone on for so long, and so diminished CBS's stature in reporting the news, that their only recourse when they finally decide to admit the fraud will be to fire Dan out of cannon from Black Rock to an oozing landfill in Jersey.

These snakes don't have actual email addresses, but instead use those hateful message forms (that require you to put your email address, even though you don't get to see theirs).

Anyway, here's the affiliate listing. You have to click on an affiliate, find the "contact" button, and then fill out one of their hateful forms. But in this case it's worth the painful effort. I'm going to try to do one-a-day, starting in my home town and working outwards. I encourage everyone else to do some too.

Also, if you can, donate.

The Swift Vets have so much in reserve that they can hit him with something new every couple of days, it is not funny.
You're right, they have a lot of useful ammunition. And you're also right that it's not funny. There's nothing funny about Komrad Kerry. He would be worse than Comrad Carter.

Also one of the doc's uses the word "billets" to explain a personnel position..not an Army term.

Or a Air Force term.

Mary Mapes said they believe the 86 yr. old secy, Marian Carr Knox typed those!! Which begs the question..."why did she say on 60 Minutes Jr. that she did NOT????

We must start referring to CBS by something which evokes thoughts of entertaining mass-circulation tabloids; I would recommend "CBS-ly World News".

it's hard not to conclude he's colluding in the perpetuation of a massive if ludicrous fraud.


Yes indeed.

The quote is by Bill Burket in an email (source).

Van Os is currently running for the Supreme Court in Texas.

"...could Dan's daughter be involved?"

My take, for the last week.

Who typed them?? Robin Rather?? Burkett? Carr-Knox??

I'm interested in who the author is, but more interested in who had/saw them before CBS found them.

I think Burkett or Os is the author. I think the author got them to the DNC and Kerry campaign long before CBS was aware. The DNC or Kerry campaign then called CBS (timing is everything, the DNC/Kerry campaign want to control the timing of the story hitting, and the DNC/Kerry campaign had "Fortunate Son" campaign, of more than one element, organized).

The DNC or Kerry campaign starts the Fortunate Son campaign, "pulls the trigger," by calling CBS and advising them of a person in Texas. That call could be anonymous, "Hello, CBS News 60 Minutes? Hi. I think you guys should call Mr. Burkett in Texas. His number is xxx-xxx-xxxx. He has some memos written by GWB's commander in the TexANG that I think you will interested in. No. I prefer to be anonymous, but Mr. Burkett will make himself known to you. Bye."
