Rising Hegemon
The secretary for the squadron commander purported to be the author of now-disputed memorandums questioning President Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard said Tuesday that she never typed the documents and believed that they are fakes.
But she also said they accurately reflect the thoughts of the commander, Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian, and other memorandums she typed for him about Mr. Bush. "The information in them is correct," the woman, Marian Carr Knox, now 86, said in an interview at her home here. "But I doubt,'' she said, pausing, "it's not anything that I wrote because there are terms in there that are not used by Guards, the format wasn't the way we did it. It looks like someone may have read the originals and put that together."
Well now that is an interesting twist isn't it?
They are not so much fabrications as recreations.
Hmmmm.
So perhaps this story becomes more plausible in explaining things. Remember this post regarding former Texas National Guardsman Bill Burkett from a few days ago on this blog?
Two individuals walked in. I didn't know either one of them personally, but I do know that General James addressed one and said, General [John] Scribner, the folks from downtown are going to come out, Karen Hughes and [Dan] Bartlett are going to come out and they're, and I'm paraphrasing here, are going to come out and they're going to write a book about the governor for use in the reelection campaign or whatever else is going to follow on, and they need you to open access to your files and retained records. And there was a quick addition to that by General Marty, "and make sure there's nothing in there that'll embarrass the governor."
So is it possible that the originals were destroyed via this cleansing and then salvaged or remade by Burkett? He is rumored to be the source of the documents.
Of course, the documents could be real.
Either way, the possibilities are rich indeed.
