Aren't GWBs Scrubbed Military Records Incriminating In Themselves?
Check the story posted on Buzzflash today -- old news but, they quote people as witnessing the "be sure there is nothing that could embarrass the Governor" conversations within the military, prior to the 2000 election.

That to me is a story in itself...if they have evidence that his records were tampered with, that sounds like something that should be investigated. They say that the story was killed by Rove, Hughes, et al and not persued SURPRISE very aggressively by the media.

1. Yes. They'd rather have the AWOL story out there than the full story.
I wonder why people haven't used FOIA to get James R. Bath's records. "Major" Bath was suspended from flight duty at the same time -- for failing to take the annual physical. Bath has been a Cabal insider ever since.

I believe a complete disclosure would show that both Bush* and Bath were busted for drugs. That year was the time Bush* did the only "community service" he's ever done -- obviously not voluntarily.

2. This would only be "incriminating" in a country w/a free press. nt

4. I would not be surprised if they had tampered with his records
That sounds just like Rove's modus operandi....

5. Why Not Investigate The Records Themselves, They Are Def Fishy...
From Buzzflash, one witness:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I was outside the Adjutant general of Texas office when I overheard a call from Joe Allbaugh and Dan Bartlett that told General James to "make sure there is nothing embarrassing in the Governor's file" in preparation for his reelection run and a run for the presidency. I was present when James and Asst AG General Marty told a state services employee to do the same. I was there when the retained records person surrendered files under order of COL William Goodwin, Chief of Staff, for the scrub of the Governor's files.
