The <cite>Washington Post</cite> <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A24635-2004Sep15.html" title="CBS Guard Documents Traced to Tex. Kinko's (washingtonpost.com)">reports</a> that the Bush guard memos were faxed to CBS News from a Kinko’s location in Abilene, Texas, which just happens to be down the road from Bill Burkett’s home. On the other hand, it’s possible that CBS producer <del>Marla</del> Mary Mapes (or some other person working on the story) faxed the documents to New York herself while in Abilene pursuing the story, and Burkett was uninvolved. So it’s hardly a smoking gun as to the source of the documents. Also, the <cite>WaPo</cite> account quotes, on its jump page, a comment (attributed to Bill Burkett, although there’s no way to authenticate that it is genuine) from <a href="http://www.steveverdon.com/archives/politics/001110.html">this comment thread</a> at Steve Verdon’s weblog, <cite>Deinonychus antirrhopus</cite>.

"Any time I'm wrong, I want to be right out front and say, 'Folks, this is what went wrong and how it went wrong.' "</blockquote> Glass says “It's a little late for that, Dan.” Six days and counting, I think. http://blog.lordsutch.com/archives/1955 http://blog.lordsutch.com/atom.cgi/entryid=1955
