Do we know any more about this?

The famous back bulge, reputed/theorized to be a receiver of some sort to feed the moron debate lines.

But logic defies that. Wearing such a wire would be akin to still using this as a cell phone.

That suspicious rectangular bulge in Bush’s jacket during his debate with Kerry, a NASA scientist who is an expert on such things had told the Times, was indeed an electronic transmitter that allowed Bush to receive remote coaching from Rove or someone else.

3. Merci

That's what it could be, but do we really know? It seems to me that a short range receiver must be available so small as to fit into his ear. No way they would be so obvious.

Maybe they worry that such a small device wold fall into his empty head? :shrug:

4. From one of the links in that thread, larger than most because

it probably has descrambling capability - sounds logical to me...


Now a technical expert who designs and makes such devices for the U.S. military and private industry tells Salon that he believes the bulge is indeed a transceiver designed to receive electronic signals and transmit them to a hidden earpiece lodged in Bush's ear canal.

"There's no question about it. It's a pretty obvious one -- larger than most because it probably has descrambling capability," said Alex Darbut, technical and business development vice president for Resistance Technology in Arden Hills, Minn. Darbut examined photographs of the president's back taken from the Fox News video feed at the first presidential debate in Coral Gables, Fla., as well as 2002 photos of the president driving and working in a T-shirt on his Crawford ranch, which were posted on the White House Web site.

8. maybe it could not be ultra small because it could have been intercepted?

It appears to be something that should not be there. It's not normal to have that bulge on the back like that. Bush doesn't seem to have that kind of bulge in other photos. He doesn't seem to have much of a bulge in ANY photo, for that matter. I think it was some sort of transmitting device that could not be intercepted. if it had been itnercepted it would have been the end of the line. no pun intended.
