Burkett's Brain II : into the frying pan
Of COURSE it's bullshit that the forgeries came to Burkett anonymously through the mail.
He might be a fall guy, but he's no Patsy. And I'm sure he had help distributing his forgeries by Kerry folk who should have known better, and maybe even did. There was total collusion, making its first public appearance with that stupid Estrich column.
Yet, the simplest explanation that conforms to the facts is that Burkett himself is the forger.
Michele Catalano thinks Burkett's lie about his source may mean Burkett was put up to pretend to be the source by the "real" source. I don't think so. I think Burkett is the root. He had the bad judgement required for such a clumsy scam, and the motivation, the everlasting grudgematch and story he had been peddling since 1997 .
He lied to Mapes about the origin of the documents because he wanted them to be USED. Obviously, if he is the forger, his source was fiction and he would not be able to hold onto that story. His new lie is his last guard against admitting guilt as a forger.
The forgeries have marks all over them ( and not just his local Kinkos number), consistent with Burkett as forger or collaborator.
The wording used contains some similarities to some of his other writings. The army terminology mistakes fit with his army background.
He has the personality requirements to be a forger.
He's unstable, and has been ever since
brain fever of long duration, discussed here.
He's made outrageous claims of special knowledge at the center of conspiracies by forces he feels are aligned against him. He's been caught, and admitted that some of his claims were "exaggerated", e.g., he was persecuted for refusing to personally destroy the records of George W. Bush. In the present case he was forced to admit lying about the origin of the documents.
He speaks of himself in grandiose fashion all over the web. You've seen his BBurkett16@aol.com yahoo posts. You've read his Buzzflash contributions and his "By the Way" posts, among his other LLL screeds.
This is a person who wants desperately to be a leader of the righteous charge, he is the the stereotype of the couple-of-screws-loose, grandiose whistleblower.
He's confessed his fury and anger at the impotence of "playing fair", and was ready to get down in the dirt.
And he all but trumpeted his "extra special insight and knowlege" by saying, he "had no proof, but he had a real feeling" new damning Bush docs might surface. (IMHO he all but trumpeted himself as the figurative, if not actual, author of their appearance)
His reward? The validation of his peers, and the reinforcement of himself in his own eyes, as "the insider", a righteous spy, possessing special strategic and mental powers. Burkett the courageous, risking everything.
By Any Means Necessary? was Allah's first post about the forgery scam, and it was an apt title.
Burkett, one can even feel sorry for. He's not altogether capable of veiwing things rationally, and not altogether capable of governing well his feelings of dismay and dissapointment.
What's truly shocking and disgusting is that Kerry's folks, and CBS were willing to work together - to get down and roll around in the dirt with a crank forger - with high hopes of undermining the president in a time of war.
