Was CBS's source Maj. Gen. Bobby Hodges?
Two new memos from Lt. Col. Jerry Killian have been released, #s 1 and 5 in this pdf file. An intrepid poster at the BC Forum breaks them down:

The #1 memo and the #5 memo are the two newly-released ones. They are the missing pieces in the puzzle. Dan Rather has just buried the claims of forgery AND slyly revealed his source. Here's how:

(1) Read this new memo #5. It's obviously a letter from Killian to one of his superiors. The date is late June, 1973. He's telling this superior that he can't evaluate Bush because he hasn't shown up, and asks the superior what to do about it.

(2) It logically follows that Bush was contacted by either Killian or this superior sometime after the letter was written in late June, 1973. Bush realizes that he's in hot water and starts "talking to someone upstairs."

(3) Within a few weeks, Killian's superior writes back to him telling him to let Bush off the hook.

(4) Pissed off and suspicious, Killian "Covers His Ass" a few weeks later by writing that personal memo, in which he indicates that Hodges has been pressured by Staudt to let Bush off the hook. So Hodges was obviously the superior who Killian had written in late June, and Staudt was the one who Bush (or Poppy) had contacted sometime between that letter in late June and August.

(5) Since the #5 memo was written to Hodges (and SIGNED) by Killian, it HAD to have come from Hodges' files.
It gets better. The "Bath' in memo 1 refers to James Bath, Bunnypants' crackhead buddy, who also refused an ANG physical. He went on become a member of the BFEE and a pal of the Bin Ladens.
