Guard DutyGate hits full throttle
Kos and Kevin Drum have all the scoop that's fit to print on the Bush Guard Duty scandal.
The bottom line...BC04 has been lying about having released all known paperwork on Bush's service. They lied about him not having to report to his physical. They've been lying about Bush completing his service. They've been lying about noone pressuring folks to sweeten up Bush's Guard record to make him look good. It's not just the word of Ben Barnes or a few people who were there. It's all on paper.
And not just from 60 Minutes/CBS. The White House released some of the memos a few hours after 60 Minutes aired.
Update: The memos released by the White House were apparently copies sent to them by 60 Minutes, not ones they'd been sitting on. Apologies.
