---If anything should go wrong, Mary does plan to leave Burkett holding the bag, so Mary, as Lucy, tells Burkett where to receive the documents, but her husband or cohort actually gives them to her, lest Burkett recognize her.
The memos ham-fistedly contain known Army'isms, so as to implicate Burkett. Mary has hours of Burkett tape interview material from which to pour Burkett-sounding "orders." Mary's feminine (?), practiced handwriting pens Killian's signature.
Mary doesn't expect to have the forgery found out because she thinks the whole story will get the Wilson-Pflame and Clarke treatment - a discussion of characters and ideas, not of typography. If forgery eventually comes up, it'll be hung around Burkett's neck, long after the monkey has been on Bush's back long enough to shave him down a point or two in key battleground states come election day.---
That's a very clever take on this and it's quite possible. It fits with the memos being just the pieces needed to fill in the blanks in her story with a nasty twist, but without being too splashy.
We have to remember that Burkett, having been in the Nat'l Guard, is a coward and a draft-dodger by RAT definition.
Danno knows he's right about that, cuz he's talkin' about himself.
Just like Lt. Caffey telling us about Col. Jessup, "He wants to tell us he ordered the Code Red!"
