Media Matters on the case
The issue of the CBS memos seems to have fallen off the radar of those who aren't complete rightwing nutties...but the echo chamber is still chewing on them like a dog with a bone. Thus David Brock of Media Matters for America is now on the case.
Brock cites today's Washington Times lead editorial claiming the CBS memos are forgeries. Brock writes:
Brock outlines other evidence for the Times' piece inaccuracies as well. It's very worth checking it out. And just so you have someplace to vent your frustration at the Times' obvious idiotic bias, Brock generously provides their contact information which I've also provided below:
Update:The founder of the group Texans for Truth is offering a $50,000 reward for anyone who can prove President Bush fulfilled his service requirements, including required duties and drills, in the Alabama Air National Guard in 1972.(via Balta)
Gary Trudeau the great Doonesbury cartoonist has yet to pay out his own $10,000 reward for anyone who can come forward to prove that Bush served his Alabama Guard Duty.

Brock cites today's Washington Times lead editorial claiming the CBS memos are forgeries. Brock writes:
In making their charge, the Times alleged that one of the disputed documents (page 2), ordering then-Lieutenant George W. Bush to undergo a flight physical, cites a regulation that did not exist: "There was no AFM 35-13 regulation governing physicals."
Yet other National Guard records in Bush's military file, which the White House released in February and are known to be authentic, cite the same regulation in suspending Bush's flight status for failing to submit to the physical.
