Inadvertently destroyed, eh? My, how con-vee-nient. Lucky Georgie. |
We noted that the Justice Department couldn't provide the Center for
Public Integrity with information on foreign lobbyists because by
retrieving the information, they apparently risked destroying their
database.
I commented that their next excuse would be "the dog ate it."
This doesn't quite reach that level - but it's close.
Last week the Pentagon announced that - coincidence of coincidences -
"Military records that could help establish President Bush's
whereabouts during his disputed service in the Texas Air National
Guard more than 30 years ago have been inadvertently destroyed,"
according to the New York Times.
Inadvertently destroyed, eh?
My, how con-vee-nient.
From the Times:
"[The Pentagon] said the payroll records of 'numerous service
members,' including former First Lt. Bush, had been ruined in 1996 and
1997 by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service during a project to
salvage deteriorating microfilm."
Hmm. 1997, eh?
That would be right around the time that Lt. Col. Bill Burkett saw
Bush's performance record in a trash can

And hmm... deteriorating microfilm?
I thought microfilm was supposed to be extremely durable and last for
more than 100 years http://www.fichenet.com/MicrofilmImagingFacts.htm.
My my, isn't it odd how things like George W. Bush's military records
and driver's licenses just disappear?
