CBS: Busted with Kinko connection The WashingtonPost (via Drudge.com) reports that the Bush National Guard memo documents used in by Dan Rather and CBS have markings that show they’ve been faxed to CBS News from a Kinko’s copy shop in Abilene, Texas. (There’s only one Kinko’s in Abilene.) And guess who lives just 21 miles away in Baird, Texas? Retired Texas National Guard officer Bill Burkett, who is suspicioned by many as a possible source of the memos. And though CBS has refused to identify their source for these documents, and how they amazingly came to light after 30 years, this Kinko connection in Abilene is substantial evidence. According to the Post article: Robert Strong, who was one of three people interviewed by "60 Minutes," said he was shown copies of the documents by CBS anchor Dan Rather and producer Mary Mapes on Sept. 5, three days before the broadcast. He said at least one of the documents bore the faxed header "Kinko's Abilene." Burkett is the disgruntled former National Guard officer who has tried in the past to smear President Bush and has been called ‘a discredited witness.
