Did George Magazine "debunk" claim Bush was AWOL?

Edited on Fri Feb-06-04 02:11 AM by BurtWorm

Does anyone have a link to the "Torn Document" that a George magazine on-line article claimed prove Bush wasn't AWOL for as long as his accusers said he was? This article was available only on-line--a very peculiar way to debunk a story about a candidate that had appeared in the Boston Globe, tompaine.com and the Times of London. The document was conveniently torn where Bush's name supposedly was and was essentially just a list of dates with a W. peaking out on this side of a tear where a name, perhaps, had once been.

dailyhowler.com has been pointing out that this document is totally out of the picture in discussions of Bush's Guard record.

But it doesn't prove that. Or much of anything, really.

5. I believe.....

..that George magazine admitted to Marty Heldt that they altered that document. I know there was some controversy over it. Perhaps you can find info about that on Marty's site.
