inadvertently CAPTIONing destroyed records

W is thinking: Wow, even if the payroll records weren't accidentally destroyed, which isn't a federal crime in my book, I know where I was in '72, and that proves everything ... hopefully, this won't be like the ending in that Paul Newman 'the Verdict' movie ...

Pentagon: Bush Military Records Destroyed

July 10, 2004 05:34 AM EDT


WASHINGTON - Military payroll records that could more fully document President Bush's whereabouts during his service in the Texas Air National Guard were inadvertently destroyed, according to the Pentagon.

In a letter responding to a freedom of information request by The Associated Press, the Defense Department said that microfilm containing the pertinent National Guard payroll records was damaged and could not be salvaged. The damaged material included payroll records for the first quarter of 1969 and the third quarter of 1972.

"President Bush's payroll records for those two quarters were among the records destroyed," wrote C.Y. Talbott, of the Pentagon's Freedom of Information and Security Review section. "Searches for back-up paper copies of the missing records were unsuccessful."

1. Bush is smirking: urban legend? a conspiracy theory? coincidence?

... that's what makes being at the top so neat ... and, having the media at my command ... I'm scott free no matter what ... so long, suckas ... live long if you're rich and Die-Bold ...
