Mapes Own Missing Documents
Truth and Duty ^ | Mapes

Posted on 11/21/2005 1:20:40 PM PST by oldbill

Mary Mapes website for her book Truth and Duty has a page labelled DOCUMENTS. On this page she has her famous "meshing" defense for proof that the memos were accurate. On November 16 she added 12 additional documents she got from the Texas National Guard Headquarters. Unwittingly, she posted documents that actually DISproved many of her arguments.

Some of the documents were letters to the Guard Headquarters asking preferential treatment for the sons of important people, but the letters were actually refusals by the Guard commanders to these requests.

They were only up for a day before someone at Mary's site realized what they had done and pulled them down.

By chance, did anyone get a chance to download them before they were pulled so that we can re-post them here?

I actually picture Mapes running two businesses--a dry cleaners next to a used clothing thrift store.

Please remember that this is the witch that got the Abu Ghraib photos and ran them on 60 Minutes.

She is a worse traitor to this nation than Jane Fonda.

Being a liar is small potatoes for her.

what is really funny is that the ONLY "documents" -- including those purportedly from Killian's office -- with proportional spacing and superscript are the "original" faked documents that were on CBS's web site when the first "reported" the story.

That smart? You give her too much credit methinks.

I would say she's not half as smart as a whole truck load of rocks.

Imagine what could have been accomplished in the plot to get Bush if this woman had not been an airhead.

[...Did anyone download Mapes letters from Guard refusing request for preferential treatment...?]

I don't think your request is understood. You might want to post this again. I tried Brent Bozell and Google. Might try Michelle Maulkin.

Yep, and she's outed the Legacy Media on their double-
standard burden of proof, and none of the other members
of that professional conspiracy are denying it.

They are still up, and they are BORING.

Are you trying to drum up sales for Mary Mapes "Denial Digest"?

Mapes is just about as sharp as a bowling ball.

As smart as a bag full of hammers.

Definately not the brightest bulb on the christmas tree.

The ones she posted are no longer on the documents page. Originally they were posted after the last of the released memos and the note on the AP story on the DOCUMENTS page.

What shows up now is just the Killian memos and the meshed (NOT) documents. There were 12 more labelled Document 1, Document 2, etc.
They were all photocopies with a similar "view document" link like the posted ones.

Lib's don't read or analyze, they just feel. If Mary says they are proof then they feel it must be true.

Unwittingly

Not surprising. How unpleasant would it be if some of our red enemies were actually the geniuses they pretend. The Democrat party has had a Cosa Nostra proportions gene pool collapse.

Internet Explorer.
Doesn't matter - she pulled the documents because most of them were letters from the Guard commanders telling influential people to take a hike.
One letter was even from George Bush Sr. trying to get a friend's kid in and he was told no.
That's why she pulled them off - she realized it was killing her own arguments.
Sure would be nice to get them back and spread around again.
