EW,

I think you just past the “I travel and sh— hits the fan” curse. I am gone from the tubes two days and…three “breaking news” posts! Thanks for following this.

Yes, during that “mission accomplished” era, very heady times were running amuck. Certain people believed that American Imperialism was unstoppable. Cheney and his partners in crime at the CIA were on a constant high. Their time was now. Then everything fucked up. I still cannot believe Cheney lives 2,000 yards from the Langley CIA headquarters. Can anyone confirm that?

Darn…meant to edit the above to include the name of the guy who was the genius behind the site…a FDL poster of old…Paul Lukasiak! I don’t know if he is still augmenting the information on the site, but it really is a helluva job of detective work!

I’ve seen Mr. Begg in some interviews, and suspect him of a rather sly sense of humor.

Rather was all over the Bush AWOL story, and had them all but nailed to the wall, I would bet. The best material on Bush’s exploits, and I believe that Rather had all the same dirt on Bush and cohorts, is http://www.glcq.com/bush_at_arpc1.htm.

A taste of what’s on the site…

DESERTER

THE STORY OF GEORGE W. BUSH AFTER HE QUIT THE TEXAS AIR NATIONAL GUARD

SUMMARY

An examination of the Bush military files within the context of US Statutory Law, Department of Defense regulations, and Air Force policies and procedures of that era lead to a single conclusion: George W. Bush was considered a deserter by the United States Air Force.

After Bush quit TXANG, he still had nine months of his six-year military commitment left to serve. As a result, Bush became a member of the Air Force Reserves and was transferred to the authority of the Air Reserve Personnel Center (ARPC) in Denver, Colorado. Because this was supposed to be a temporary assignment, ARPC had to review Bush’s records to determine where he should ultimately be assigned. That examination would have led to three conclusions: That Bush had “failed to satisfactorily participate” as defined by United States law and Air Force policy, that TXANG could not account for Bush’s actions for an entire year, and that Bush’s medical records were not up to date. Regardless of what actions ARPC contemplated when reviewing Bush’s records, all options required that Bush be certified as physically fit to serve, or as unfit to serve. ARPC thus had to order Bush to get a physical examination, for which Bush did not show up. ARPC then designated Bush as AWOL and a “non-locatee” (i.e. a deserter) who had failed to satisfactorily participate in TXANG, and certified him for immediate induction through his local draft board. Once the Houston draft board got wind of the situation, strings were pulled; and documents were generated which directly contradict Air Force policy, and which were inconsistent with the rest of the records released by the White House.

From his point of view, I guess torture is not so “offensive” to the “every day white guy.” As I’ve said before, Lindsay needs to retire to one of the swampiest parts of SC where he can enjoy the miasma to the max.

I just did a simple google search, and this is the latest info I found–Nov 17, 2008. Surely there is more up-to-date information about it, but nothing more recent showed up from my search. Maybe someone here will clarify and update us. Sorry not to be of better help.
