Just a question...

..I've not seen anyone ask in regards to memogate. Why in the hell would someone hold onto another person's personal CYA memos for 19 years after that other person died? Maybe if the file originated from that person's family I could see it. But if a co-worker of mine gave me his CYA files (and I don't know why anyone would do that, either), I certainly wouldn't still have them 19 years after that person passed away.

I might, theoretically, hold onto memos if the father of the person was very well known and I might want to write a book one day. That's a possibility.

The probablity is that those memos which were Notes-to-the-File type memos actually existed at some time. The Clinton folks carefully photocopied every FBI file on Republicans and I am certain that they did the same for every Pentagon record for Republican public figures. That's why they know the memos -- the contents of which, at least -- are, no doubt, genuine. They are furious, however, that the memos themselves cannot be found. Whether the originals were part of GW Bush's record or the Air Guard records or Pentagon personel records for the Air Guard commander, they are beyond reach of the mainstream media. Hence, the "re-creation" of the missing memos doesn't bother them one bit. They think of it as a kind of public service.

The fact that the memos and the contents are totally irrelevant post-9/11 and pretty petty criticism at best, doesn't occur to them. When you are ABB - Anyone But Bush - hatred clouds your judgement.

This is how the Left thinks.
