[DoYouEverWonder]

and his National Guard records.

It is unfortuante that many people are so willing to kill the messenger, without knowing anything about him or listening to his story. The following are some links for stories and interviews with Lt. Bill Burkett.

The last link has an audio interview, with Lt. Burkett that was broadcast on Pacifica radio on May 2, 2002. Listen for yourself to Lt. Burkett and his story and then let's see what you think about this brave man and his incredible story. It seems Dan Rather has put his faith in Burkett, maybe we should too?

1. Burkett is credible and remarkably knowledgable

... and I wouldn't put it past that sneaky little shit Joe Allbaugh to have "tidied up" Junior's military records. Wouldn't want any embarrassing evidence of felony arrests in there, now, would we...

2. That's why I want people to at least listen to Burkett speak

If you see and listen to this man, you know that despite his advanced age and past health problems he is a very credible eyewitness.

Of course, anyone who is willing to come forward and tell the truth, will be eaten alive by the Rove machine. He knew this and came forward anyway. Now, it's time for us to quit buying into the Rove party line and decide for ourselves whether or not Burkett is telling the truth.

3. One day the whole story will come out and Bill Burkett will be vindicated

In January 2005 a Kerry White House can release the full bu$h guard record. Other witnesses who have been too scared to speak, while the bu$h regime was in office, will then support Bill's story.

That is what's really freaking the bu$hies out right now. All the lies that they told will be totally exposed.

4. Thank you for linking the interview with Bill Burkett

He sounds like a man of true honor.

I am sorry to hear that he lost the use of 60% of the right side of his body through service.

5. He should on 60 Minutes

and it should be for a full hour. (Unless his lawsuit prevents him from doing so.) He has a story to tell, he is an eyewitness, he was there. Lt. Burkett needs to be on the record in front of the nation.

6. I think we should give him more respect and let this thing work.

PS you need to change the subject line. I almost missed this because of the spelling of his name.
